I don't post everything I buy here, but this time, at the end of the year (whatever  ), I wait for  another large box that I hope will be delivered in the coming days. There are also some smaller boxes that I'm looking forward to with joy.






Well,happy new year to you all.........

That Erato guitar set is quite good.

I didn't know about the Lagoya set, but now that I do, I just ordered it from Amazon. Delivery is promised for next Sunday.

Happy New Year!

This last purchase is a 6 cd set comprising various vocal and orchestral works, among which Canto General, a grand vocal, choral and instrumental happening on leftist and revolutionary poems by Nobel Prize winner Pablo Neruda. A blast from the past, as I think these days are quite over. The music is exhilarating and this performance is probably quite different from the one I have from another source (Theodorakis allowed all kinds of permutations in the order of movements, type of voice, instrumental choices etc - in the spirit of rejection of established patterns and conventions.💣).

I should give both of those a fresh listen, especially the fantastic recording with the Barefoot Songs and the concerti.

Just bought:

This time I stuffed up, not the seller. The Mendelssohn symphonies are supposed to have a cardboard slipcase and booklet (just like all my Vivaldi!) but it's missing. And the seller's listing did say this. Yes it was a long way down the page but that's mostly due to eBay's formatting, not anything underhand by the seller.

Nevertheless I'll be returning. Not having the sung text for Lobgesang is a minor issue, but more annoying is that there's no track listing on the case.

I'm not sure whether I'll just grab another copy of this, or go for a different version. Ah well.

Meanwhile... The Vivaldi is intact

Just "bought" these second-hand, but this actually costs me nothing thanks to a gift voucher I've found a use for. If Duolingo ever asks you to do a survey, it's worth it!

Just bought, also second-hand, this time for actual money.

I've been corrupted by @Todd I now own a few sets of the Beethoven Piano Sonatas.

This is just the imperceptibly insidious beginning

This one lingers in my wishlist. I streamed the first four or five volumes some time back. Very tempting. Either this one or the purple version with Paulus & Elijah.

The purple version doesn't have sung texts. This might or might not influence your decision. When this 10-disc box came out, there was a separate 4-disc box (red) with the oratorios.

I listened to most or all of the volumes a few years back as I went through Mendelssohn's opuses, and they made a strong impression on me.

I had already downloaded both booklets (the 10 and the 14-cd versions) so I am covered anyway. I'll have to stream some more.

A few sets are harmless.  Ten sets are harmless.  Thirty sets are harmless.  Etc.
