Okay, apparently I landed one before the price went back up and the set went out-of-stock.

The bi-annual DeepDiscount 25% off sale is afoot through 14 June.  I have not done much browsing yet, but it does look like the CPO catalog is part of the sale, Brilliant Naxos as well; I don't see Naive or Brilliant items on sale this time, though I remember labels were added through the first days of the sale last year.
Probably no steal-deals, but some nice small breaks.

EDIT: looks like Orfeo label is also included.  Also Criterion Collections DVDs etc.

I have been alerted via the Bon Plans blog to bargains at Diverdi.com.  Spanish site but it does work in English.  60% off lots of stuff on the BIS label, and other labels discounted.  I ordered six items including a box set of 15 discs, all came to about 48euros plus 10 for delivery to the UK.  Prices when I completed the order were less than shown on the offer page.

I saw it just now. Site seems to be a little buggy... when I clicked on a normal link it made Firefox ask me whether I wanted it to remember the password, and this when I hadn't even thought about registering an account.

It did funny things with my basket value as I added things to it but seemed to work out fine in the end.  Payment via Paypal so they definitely will have my details.  I use Internet explorer.

Oh, and I must add that my basket showed 10.77 Euros worth of something when I visited the site for the first time. One should remain wary, if one's to store private information on their servers.

Payment via Paypal so they definitely will have my details.

Only paypal?

A permanent SDCB?

If you didn't know, Arcana was recently acquired by the Out-here Music conglomerate, which also distributes labels like Alpha, Aeon and ZZT, to name a few. Paul Badura-Skoda's Schubert cycle, which is available for €26 from Amazon France (+hefty postage) and £28 at Amazon UK, can be had for €19 (postage included) directly from Out-here music. I just found out that the 9-CD boxed set also comes with a 200+ page booklet, which includes instrument details with photographs and multi-page notes () on every sonata written by the pianist himself. (Oh, and if you're interested only in the notes, they can be accessed via a nifty online viewer or downloaded as a PDF file.)

It really makes me wonder whether this is a mis-pricing.

No, credit cards as well.

I only mentioned Paypal as it seemed to me that by paying this way I could be sure they knew who I was, if by any chance there was any confusion, tho' since the site worked in English it should be fine.

I bought the Haydn Big Box for CHEAP ($1.99 or such) at Amazon for download.  It's great fun.  I've always liked the Mogens Wöldike performances and now I have them 

[TheGSMoeller]

Great! I love those Amazon.com cheap MP3 albums. It's a great way to expand your collection or discover new pieces without breaking the bank.

[Sergeant Rock]

Nice. Wöldike's 100, 101, 103 and 104 were my first Haydn purchases (circa 1971). They were on the Vanguard Everyman label.

Thanks a lot for that heads-up, David.  This is my first ever mp3 purchase!   

It was ~$1 when I bought mine just now.

Crikey, a dollar and nine red cents, eh? Ka-ching!
