Title: Seven box sets for sale
Post by: Sean on January 29, 2008, 03:19:50 AM
Would be pleased to consider offers for these items, all as new with booklets and bought last year (however see the Schumann and Brahms below).

Schubert- Complete songs, Graham Johnson & 60 singers on Hyperion, 40 CDs The complete vocal music with piano covers 37 discs, with the last three of lieder by 40 other composers active in his lifetime; includes Bostridge in Schone Mullerin and Goerne in Winterreise.

Schubert- The major piano sonatas, Wilhelm Kempff on DG, 7 CDs Set includes all but a couple of minor sonatas with tangled provenance.

Haydn- Complete Piano trios, Beaux Arts Trio on Philips, 9 CDs
SOLD

Haydn- Complete piano music, Christine Schornsheim on Capricorn, 14 CDs All the sonatas plus other works (with decisions made on which minor works are authentic to include); the 14th disc is a discussion with the pianist all in German.
SOLD

Bach- Complete Organ music, Peter Hurford on Decca, 17 CDs (with decisions made on which minor works are authentic to include).

Schumann- Complete solo piano music, Jeog Demus on Nuova Era, 13 CDs This has a slightly shabby box and unfortunately the last ten minutes of the third disc doesn't play due to an invisible fault- the last couple of movements of the Intermezzos).
SOLD

Brahms- Complete solo piano music, Martin Jones on Nimbus, 6 CDs Some adhesive tape on the box.

Wagner- The Ring, Clemens Krauss 1953 Bayreuth mono, on Allegro, 14 CDs

Sean's version of Refusal Bin?

Very much interested in the Schubert songs (and trios), but I doubt I can tender a decent offer to better others.

Say around 50% of the lowest Amazon price for these items?

The Schubert song-box look positively mouthwatering. However, my employer-to-be has yet to declare how much I'll be paid and when I can expect the money to start flowing in. :( And until that is clear, I can't make any purchases of this size. :'( However - if you don't find a buyer right away, I might be able to give you an offer in a week or two (if you're still interested then ;D). Unless my new income turns out to be as meager as I fear... ::)

Hi Maciek, yes sure, get back to me. Amazon are doing it for £130 so I could mail it you for £65, plus postage which could be quite a few pounds more in this case I guess.

Interested in the Stravinsky/Prokofiev - how much would you like for that?

Well only a few pounds, but it's really one to throw in with one of the box sets- not worth posting out alone...

Good one to throw in if you are sending me the Schubert, then!

I'm interested in the Schubert Songs as well. Has someone already laid claim to them?
