The Super-Duper Cheap Bargains Thread

[Que]

Super-duper is stretching it a bit for a €100 offer....  

Still, it is a complete Bach organ set marked down from €180 and on one of the most expensive labels known to mankind....

Wouldn't recommend that box it's pretty dull to my ears.   Getting through it was a bit of a chore.

I've heard that from others too. With the exception of a couple of performances my brother who has it was thoroughly disappointed.

Even though it seems to be selling well, I don't suppose this is the actual 21-CD box.  (I recall there was an information mix-up on the Amazon websites.)

I also love the word capolavori! Pity about the bulky boxes; still it could be a cheap way to get some of these recordings. The Mozart box may be the easiest way to get the Kraus recordings (unless one wants to spring for the complet Kraus box) and there are a few elusive recordings included; I think the Szell/Druian violin sonatas (4, not all) may have never been out on CD?

The Szell/Druian violin sonatas were also released on the Szell OJ Mozart Sony 10-CD box.

Not just Amazon. Everywhere. Ebay, all the Azons, other vendors. Complete catastrophe. This is almost certainly one disc, the lieder. Caveat emptor.

No, this is not the big box set! 

The ASIN is B003DQIQ7C. That's the ASIN of Songs. The ASIN for the big box on Amazon UK and US is B004EQAUZQ.

There really was a mix-up with ASINs (and maybe even EAN) initially, and I think the same page still sells the box and, via Marketplace, only the CD. This has never really been solved actually. It was kind of a lucky thing though, at first, since many preorders of the box around 20£ were duly delivered on Amazon UK. But still, this is really annoying if you want it. I recommend JPC for this item (and it was really cheap a few months ago there).

Thanks.  I imagine Amazon will soon have quite a few dissatisfied Japanese customers to contend with.

This same f***up has been going on for 2 or 3 years, however long that has been on the market. Once a mistake like that is in the system, it never goes away!

Go to JPC de, look in the charts, many Hyperion boxes for low prices, for instance the Chopin box, Schumann songs, Purcell Odes, etc etc, lots of cheap Brilliant boxes too.

The Hyperion Brahms chamber music box & Hänssler Cambreling/Messiaen boxes receive my seal of recommendation.

The Schumann songs and Purcell boxes are treasures that I already have. The Brahms box I ordered now, thanks Harry!

No problem Erato. The thing is that what is in the charts one should order right away, because the next day it might be gone. Had that experience once or twice.
