Anyone know the Brilliant "Mendelssohn Portrait" 40-CD box?  Abeille has it for 21 euros w/ vat.

I have that set. I don't care much for Sawallisch's symphonies. There are MUCH better alternatives out there. But you probably already have those anyway. However Lev Markiz's set of String Symphonies is worth the cost of the whole set. They are a top choice. The concertos, chamber and choral music is all very solid on this set. (There are better Elijahs) Definitely worth getting.

Definitely worth it simply to explore Mendelssohn's compositions...

Rather cheap, though there's a possibility they won't fulfill orders.

For those of you who use Pricenoia to compare prices from Amazon sites worldwide - the site has shut down.

I am flabbergasted, what a stupid thing to do by Amazon, as if that would change customers habit to compare prices. Its just harder to look at the different countries, but worth the effort.
A bad decision made by Amazon.

I have not spent my own money on Amazon in 3 months (but I did use gift cards I was given). They are having a bad year between this and their refusal to sell Hachette Books.

They killed a site making amazon easier to use, as if we didn't compare prices already. Well, more business for mdt, jpc, europadisc, prestoclassical etc etc.

I've received a coupon code from JPC for 20 percent which I don't intend to use.

Caution: I don't know if the coupon can be used with an email address that is not mine.

Under that caveat,  I'm placing it here for any GMGer to use.   I only ask the person who does it to post that they have done so,  as a courtesy to the rest.  Ditto if you discover it can only be used with my email address.

Abeillemusique is dumping some Hyperion stock with prices ranging from 3 to 6 euros.

Probably only of real interst to an anyone living in France.

I gave up after shipping costs kept approximating the amount for the discs themselves. Just like I did with their recent Brilliant sale.  :( They are a bunch of idiots, if I count the many times I decided at the last moment to look elsewhere.....

Interesting, for an even cheaper issue of the Janowski Ring.  Some mixed reviews on Amazon, Re: certain other issues within the set  ;)  But its ideal for a noobie to whet yond beak.

Amazon also made searching on their site more difficult.  To search for low to high prices is more difficult now and makes for buying marketplace buyers the cheaper alternative impossible to find.

16 £ for those of you that are outside the EU (ie VAT less) at europadisc for these 8 discs seem a good bargain. One more sales day to go!

This is about the best instrumental Telemann around and a great bargain (I have 8 or 9 of the 10 discs separately). Even those who may believe that Telemann only produced shallow muzak should give it a chance!
