Just in case there still exists a GMG member without this box,
it's available for £14.99 + shipping from HM's Amz UK mp

CPE Bach time. 

[asin]B00H87JXYM[/asin]  I think this just came out.  Just under $40 for 13 discs, I think.

This has been out for a bit.  Notice that "other sellers" have the price for about $25

  I just picked up the second one of these.  I'm not sure, as they may be using different titles, but it seems like there is little overlap between the two boxes.  DHM is always awesome, so I got it, but the names in the Warner set are also beyond reproach.  I got the cheaper box as part of my new CDCDCD treatement :)

Ken B, whaddaya think about these? I got this as one of the first in this series as you are frequently touting CPE...
It's all good...

That Staier disc is brilliant, if it's the same as on the Staier box. :)

  It is! Unfortunately, I was a bit upset to see it--I just got the Staier box on Saturday.  I have surprisingly few dupes...

I actualy have not bought these. Partly due to dupes, of which I have many, all of them excellent. I'd grab the DHM box except I have half of it! I will watch the other one. I think I am up to about 70 CPE discs, so can wait patiently. But it looks good.

with shipping it works out to not quite $9.  doesn't sound quite so good in dollars as in pounds, but still more than good enough.  If from this you infer that I ordered it,  you will infer correctly.

That was fast. I ordered just over an hour ago. The special thing about this box is it's rarity. It is the only box I  own that Baklavaboy does not!  :laugh:

Amazon Italy has a 20% off offer on selected items (Promozione 20% di sconto se compri 2 titoli ), but the discount seems to apply on the whole basket as long as one applicable item is in it.

http://www.amazon.it/s/ref=s9_dnav_bw_ir05_s?__mk_it_IT=%C5M%C5Z%D5%D1&node=412600031,!518398031,!518400031,4341282031,435475031&search-alias=popular&bbn=4341282031&pf_rd_m=A2VX19DFO3KCLO&pf_rd_s=merchandised-search-2&pf_rd_r=0K00R993W85GVX810ZTQ&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=472079447&pf_rd_i=4341282031

Edit : that only works in combinations of 2 titles (one from the 20% offer, one without). If you add another such pair to the basket, it only takes the 20% off the entitled 3rd item but not off the 4th item. hope that makes sense !!  :blank:

;D ;D You exaggerate, my friend. I don't have the Archiv Baroque box, to name just one of many you have and I don't.  In a few months this might be true, though ;)

" Scegliere 2 album tra CD e Vinili ti fa risparmiare il 20%
Seleziona due titoli a scelta tra quelli validi per la promozione. Dopo averli inseriti nel carrello, il totale del prezzo verrà scontato automaticamente del 20%."

Translated by google into:

Choose between 2 album CD and Vinyl saves you 20%
Select two titles chosen from those valid for the promotion. After being placed in the cart, the total price will be automatically discounted by 20%.


So as I understand it: buy two from the list and you get 20% off (on each)? :)

PS It doesn't seem to work like that, weird... :(

I know, that's confusing...

this morning, I put in the basket :  the Arrau chopin that was in the 20% list + the Arrau Beethoven that wasn't and got the 20% off the lot (on slightly lower prices than the displayed ones as well).

so i added a couple more not on the the list (Sokolov set and Schiff Schubert) and still only got the 20 % on the 2 Arrau's.

then just to check, I tried a double pair : Arrau Chopin (list) + Arrau LvB (not list) + Sinopoli set (list) + sokolov set (not list)...and ended up with 20% off on the first three only...

;D ??? :blank: :laugh: :-\

just to add to the confusion..if I keep only the chopin (on the 20% list) and the Sokolov (not on the list), I don't get the discount at all....

i'm gonna go back to sleep....  :laugh:

maybe that will make sense for Snyppps....
