The Super-Duper Cheap Bargains Thread

[jut1972]

Amazon Germany has a track list.  Looks like the price is correct.

No idea on overlaps sorry.

CD 2: Bach: Motetten BWV 225-229 - Cantus Cölln

Yeeeeeeah boyeeeee

[kishnevi]

Here's the list of the discs (from Amazon Germany's page)

the Leonhardt GVs are available a couple of times over in other sets; the Purcell is part of the Freiburger Barockorchester Edition; the Telemann is part of the Telemann Edition. and I think the Boccherini is part of a Sony/Vivarte box, and the Rameau part of DHM's Petite Bande Edition,  but I don't have those so I can't verify it.  Which leads me to suspect at least a couple of others are also part of DHM boxes.

I also have the last two CDs as individual issues, and since I purchased them within the last year,  that would imply those two at least are not OOP.

Discotheque Ideale Dhm


FOR    CDN$ 39.90 x 25 cd's + free super saver shipping --- holy you know what --- pre-ordered before they catch their mistake

pre-ordered as well.  looks like a special DHM set, different from the Harmonia Mundi one which could be a French one?

[listener]

further to my previous post: The 30 disc set for Harmonia Mundi's 50th is quite different, operas are Atys (Lully) and Croesus (Kaiser), a couple Alfred Deller, a pair of historic organs, and a Bach St. Matthew Passion by Herreweghe among the selections so this does not duplicate that box.

[scarlattiglenross]

Two different companies entirely, so naturally no overlap.

[Wakefield]

Just to avoid further equivocations:

The new DHM box (25 CDs) is simply a reduced version of the 2008 DHM 50th Anniversary box (50 CDs):
http://www.amazon.com/Deutsche-Harmonia-Mundi-50th-Anniversary/dp/B0014RIULO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1367632413&sr=8-1&keywords=dhm+50th+anniversary+box

That 2008 box set shouldn't be confussed with this totally different 50th Anniversary box (30 CDs), released by HM France in 2007:
http://www.amazon.com/Harmonia-Mundi-50th-Anniversary-Boxed/dp/B000VIFM1S/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1367790521&sr=8-7&keywords=harmonia+mundi+collection

P.S.: I misread the previous posts of listener & scarlattiglennross.

If that 25 disc listing it is completely included in the DHM 50 CD set from a few years ago. If you do not have the 50 cd box, buy this. This is all absolutley top drawer stuff.

Oh, and the volumes containing parts of Ein Choralbuch can also be had for very little.

Well, that was a quick party....the price for this box set is now $82.68.  Fortunately, I ordered it at the lower price. 

[Karl Henning]

That became un-super-dupered!

I saw it but decided it wasn't for me, even at the erroneous price.  I noticed that another Boult Box (From Bach to Wagner, or something along those lines) was also very cheap, something like $18 for 11 discs.

[Opus106]

Sort of SDCB. And only for UK shipping.

The all-new (as in released today) box of Czech String Quartets; 15 CDs for £19.99, from seller Regis Records.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00BX2JFTQ/?tag=goodmusicguideco-21


Just so non-UK buyers don't feel left out, AbudaTrade is selling Pinnock's recording of the Partitas for under £4.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00004S3CP/?tag=goodmusicguideco-21

$1.23 at the US store.


I can't help it if you aren't a Bach fan either.

The all-new (as in released today) box of Czech String Quartets; 15 CDs for £19.99, from seller Regis Records.

$8.99 for the digital version. Not to be resisted . . . .

[Karl Henning]

That's how I bought it, but, the tagging is not very good and I ended up having to redo the tracks.

I can endure it.

[Octave]

In case a price drop makes any difference, a box of several of Mackerras' digital [?] Mozart operas on Telarc is now being sold by a few AMazon US-MP dealers for $10+shipping.  11cd set w/four big hits:

[asin]B001KK6RBK[/asin]

Even cheaper than the copy I bought from BRO.  No libretti.

[Octave]

Yes, that McClatchy volume is my vade mecum when I get in the Mozart-opera groove.  I have seen very cheap hardback cut-out copies of that offered by Amazon US-MP, frequently; so keep and eye out for one of those.  I got mine 'new' several months back for ~$7 including shipping.
