Now I am wondering if there are two white Melodiya box sets, for I found an eBay listing that confirms the CMG info, including the all Bach CD 01
Allmusic also has this set listed and it has the same contents as listed on CMB and eBay. https://www.allmusic.com/album/release/daniil-shafran-cello-mr0003639032

Are you thinking of another Melodiya box, ccar?

Yes George the Vol 1 you are referring is probably a more recent "version" of the Melodiya box - I do have the first "version" from 2005 with Vol 1 as I described before. This is the version you still see in most Amazon sites. To help clear this issue I include a picture of vol 1 (first version 2005) and all the contents with MEL reference numbers of each disc (from the 2005 box). As the Bach suites are more easily available in many other editions I would probably prefer this first "version" to the recent one. Anyway, these are wonderful performances and the sound is quite good.
