ejp626 Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 Not sure the Mravinsky is a great deal, at least not at present. Suggested retail is $55 or so.But the Sony 20th Century Masterworks looks very tempting. Can currently be pre-ordered at Amazon.co.uk or Amazon.ca. I believe for US residents, Amazon.co.uk is the better deal (18 GBP) whereas it is basically a wash for Canadians (with less chance of a customs hold-up if one goes with Amazon.ca).Thanks for the heads' up.

Stefan Wood Posted April 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 The prices usually drop before the release date. The Masterworks does look good, as the Ozawa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stefan Wood Posted April 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 Seriously, couldn't DG find more flattering photos of Fricsay? The one on the first box was hideous, and this slightly better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjzee Posted April 28, 2015 Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 Good to know. I've been thinking of buying the Gould Bach box, which has recently dropped in price. Better to wait for this (to drop in price). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stefan Wood Posted April 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 I'm done waiting. I ordered the Bach Gould set from Amazon uk (approx $68 shipped) some days ago. I don't need everything he did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently they are running a contest about who's going to put the ugliest depiction of him, guess the guy ain't photogenic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Ayers Posted March 12, 2016 Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 What he said. Back catalog used to be the foundation of classical music sales. Now much less so. This way those who want it can get it all cheaply and easily. I don't buy them but that is just my preference. These sets are really the only way that a lot of this stuff can come back. Probably it was Brilliant Classics who showed the way. The big company sets put most of theirs in the shade... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
