Bargains

Not a great bargain, but not a Download either. Presto have a service supplying to order a CD (CD-R - press on the "i" information logo) and booklet for nla Philips CDs on demand - Philips being a label no longer manufactured. And until March, a 20% reduction.

Yes, including, on the Sviatoslav Richter Franck disc, some 'fillers' of Liszt, beautifully played, that I'd not come across before...

I hadn't spotted that. I note the prestissimo Finale is available on their Vol 4 download. Cloughie has written to them. Or one could just swallow the expense (mp3 - 84p, flac - £1.20.) and download it as a single movement.

(PS The movement is also missing on the faulty and refunded 7digital download which I found still lurking in my recycle bin.)

Heard back from Presto - all sorted.

Good to know. Now I should do the same!

A polite email should do the trick!

Just caught that offer last weekend - lots of tempting stuff but I’ve limited myself to a couple of Septura wind septet arrangements of French music and English music. BBM - have you heard Septura - how do their arrangements sound to thr expert?

[Dave2002]

Just looked - not sure that I wouldn't still prefer CDs - https://www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=septura&sprefix=septura

The Gershwin and Copland one sounds fun - nicely done - but I'm not an expert. Samples are available on various sites.

[Dave2002]

There are also CDs in the sale - including some cheap deleted ones - and some of them are for brass ensembles.

Only an hour or so to buy, though. Some are tempting. However there are additional postage charges - I'll probably miss these this time round.

The huge Bernstein sony box available at a daft price

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Leonard-Ber...al%2C67&sr=1-3

That's £12 more than I paid for it from the same vendor in 2019. It might be worth shopping around.

Ah, I haven’t ever seen at at that price.
But I have the two other Sony boxes.

Furtwangler Complete Studio Recordings on Amazon for £71.24 inc. p&p

JPC.d have a sale on and I fancy a Gielen box, but I don't know if they include vat and duty in their prices like Amazon - does anyone know? I don't want a 20% bill on the doorstep and a courier service £12 admin charge.
