Looks beautiful... Oh, simply mouthwatering... Wish I could afford it but currently nothing even close to that price range is affordable for me.

Oh, well. Maybe another time... ::)

Good luck with the selling. 8)

Read closely, I said I could lower the price for someone that really wants it. :)

I wanted to use another photo of Berg that appears in Willi Reich's biography, but apparently it doesn't exist online.

I did read that but as things currently stand you'd have to really lower that price. I mean really, REALLY lower it. I guess you get my meaning... ;D (It would have to be like the price of 1-2 regular discs... LOL, it actually makes me laugh to type that because I think that would be completely outrageous and wrong - that set deserves much better and you deserve much better, and I'm sure someone will pop in here, or send you a PM soon enough. 8))

An afterthought: If you'd be planning to give it away though, do let me know. ;)

He doesn't like Messiaen, or rather he is not interested in Messiaen.

Bruce,

It is a great box, but I must admit that my enthusiasm for Messiaen has waned somewhat. I already have the pieces I really like on other discs, so keeping the box around seemed superfluous.

Thanks.  I think I've seen it at Academy, so if I decide to add it to the (groaning) pile, I can probably find it there.  FWIW, I love Messiaen, but can't listen to too much of him at once.  Too intense!

Maybe you can send me something equally enticing, like the complete symphonies of Vaughan-Williams.

And don't forget the coal.

I'm sure the box in itself is an excellent box. It's what's on the CDs within the box that I object to.
