@Referentzhunter: Well, of course I did not imagine we were talking about trying to make payment without a credit card. I realize doing this wihtout a CC will cause problems.  I have my CC on file there and it is good for all amazon sites I've used. I'd never have imagined anything else (Paypal in the end is a CC payment scheme too), including bank transfers (outside the SEPA area bank fees are likely to be prohibitive - now more than ever before, I am afraid), and don't even get me started on bizarreries such als "personal checks" or "cashier's checks" long outdated anywhere in Europe, particularly for cross-border payments.

Maybe i have to think about a creditcard or buyibg giftcards... Thank you

cd 7 + 8

cd 8 pianoconcerto for left hand = very boring. nothing virtuoso at all. No fire from Martinon.... nothing.

 Most boring cd of this set and i stopped listening to it. Tzigane wil get another try.

After a first listen i think this is a decent set for a nice price and i like Martinon's 'Debussy' the most. Powerful, moving and above all he doesn't lose the picture.

 One of the better series of beethoven pianoconcerto's in my opinion and the first pianoconcerto with Eugen Jochum as conductor is majestic from what i can remember. What do you think of Pollini playing Beethoven and this serie in general ?

Bye the way, time for another listen i would say.  I have the serie complete on lp exept for the fourth. Still looking.

I think Pollini is a genius (even with all the provisos for this being an overused word) in Beethoven concerti (and the sonatas and Diabellis, FWIW). I also find this recording, of him playing some when very young, fascinating: 

And this document is also very special:

I have to give them another listen, the pianoconcerto'. I am not totally familiar with Pollini and Beethoven but i read good things about them. Maybe it was more suggestive than claiming what i said.  But i enjoyed them when i listened to them (never boring), fast and dynamic. You are a Pollini fan ?

Very much so...desert island stuff in practically everything he plays, for my tastes at least!
