I bought it from the Marketplace for £51 incl. postage, which translates to $80.  I'm rather glad I did not buy the old 27-disc edition for £70 like I wanted a few months ago.

I have this excellent set, which I bought a few years ago ...

I agree, that's an absolutely marvelous, beautiful set; Rubinstein's interpretations are definitely brilliant! What a pity he didn't record all the etudes anyway.....

I'll expect some lockstep, if that's how you boys listen. (It's like women all in one room... after a few month, they all listen to the same music at the same time, no matter how out of sync their habits were before.)



C.P. Stamitz
Quartets for Clarinet
Arthur Campbell & The Three Stamitzians*

Audite SACD

* not actually their name -- but I'm too lazy to list them individually
Gorgeous disc, gorgeous clarinet playing. How have I not heard of Campbell before...?
