    Thanks so much for the Chopin box news, gurnemanz. I'd been waiting to order this for a while until funds become available - it is still on French Amazon for 95 euros, so as you say, this has to be a mistake, and a big one at that! Let's all keep in touch to see if we receive our respective sets!

    MickyD -
    hope y're lucky with this - but if (as we suspect) it's an error and amazon.uk can't provide - well, your amaz.fr at E95 is still an amazing bargain - 4.5 euros a disc...

    Thanks, Vinteuil - I agree, the set is still very reasonable even at the original price. I presume you have bought it already?

    Re the Real Chopin box, Amazon are also advertising the set (if the picture is anything to go by) for £160 and due for release on Jan 11 although the text further down describes it as a single disc!

    I took a punt on the much reduced price a week ago but am not holding my breath although earlier last year Amazon did something similar with the Lindsays' Beethoven cycle offering it for both £6.99 and £20+. I took a punt on the cheapie and after 4 months it arrived for £6.99.

    Yep, it was amazon.co.uk. I ordered it on Boxing Day and have had an email from them to say it was despatched today. Have just ckecked Amazon's site and they're now saying "Dispatched in 2 to 4 weeks" so perhaps it's out of stock again.

    From Amazon Marketplace and just played, Janacek's Osud in the Chandos 'Opera in English' version under Mackerras. What a crazy work! Maybe I'd have done better to buy a Czech version so as not to be able to follow what's going on?

    In the WNO cast, two singers who now live in Cornwall, Timothy German [An Engineer] and Catriona Bell, now Catriona German [Miss Stuhla]. They now help run a chamber music club in Truro. Catriona is singing Respighi's Il Tramonto with the Herold Quartet for us in a few weeks.

    After seeing your post I glanced at Hyperion offers and bought the Monteverdi madrigals disc for £2.80. Pity that the postage bumps the price up to an extortionate £4.00.

    (This is after promising myself that I wouldn't buy any more CDs for quite a while after December's mad splurge.)

    The new Naxos version of the Bax Piano Quintet in G minor. Apart from Tintagel I haven't gone a whole bundle on Bax, but on first hearing this is a GREAT, memorable quintet.
