Avoid the Aeolian Haydn. Dreadful sound, some wayward playing. Awful. The Angeles has been re-released in a cheap box.

I've heard similar criticism of the Angeles cycle.  And while the new incarnation is cheaper than the older incarnation, it's not what I call cheap.  Merely less expensive.  Certainly not as cheap as the Aeolian--which, if you read the thread, I ordered yesterday..

I got the Aeolian set a couple of months ago at Amazon.es. I don't have any complaints about it at all. Great stuff.

A superb set - particularly of interest for the non-Chopin items. Strongly recommended! :)

Yes, good for a maximum of two items, so choose carefully.

I have just tried with three items in my basket and it has taken 20% off each one.  I think the limit may be that you can buy two of each item as a maximum but am very willing to stand corrected.

I think you're right.  THe fine print on the coupon reads
"With discount vouchers an order of a maximum of 2 pieces per item is possible"
so I'll get back to them if I can get the nerve to add to my credit card bill.

I've just ordered nine items 20% off all so it does work.

I didn't neither, and I've bought from them this year. Not much, but probably around $150.

No discount for me either...and there have been years where I've single-handedly kept them in business  >:(

I will contact them, for after all I have invested in this firm, and ask them why this is.
I expect an answer.

Sorry Guys, they are obviously trying to woo back people who don't shop with them as often as some:-

'Some time has passed since you have placed your last order.

We would be very delighted if you were to order your CDs, LPs, DVDs, Blu-ray Discs and books from our extensive range also in the future.

Today we have another fantastic piece of news for you: We are giving you a

20 % voucher*'

jut1972

are the vouchers user specific? i.e. is it a code like 20OFF or something that is generic or one of these horrible ABC1-XYZ2-YADA-YADA-YADA codes?
