Your wish is my command, though since they're a UK-based company, shipping outside the UK will make any special deals less attractive. But they do have some good offers, and they're very reliable - I've bought a lot of stuff from them:

Thank you - I buy pretty much everything outside NZ anyway as it's still cheaper even with the postage (MDT are actually very reasonable). What's more the market here must be so small I usually have to wait two months if I order DVDs locally. It's a pity as I'd like to support my one local classical retailer but it's not worth it.

I'm going to keep going with the Bach cantatas; I'm a bit more in tune with them than with operas, and I feel a bit of a drive to finish collecting this series anyway. Plus, they're just amazing performances of amazing music:



Bach Cantatas, Volume 5
Gardiner, English Baroque Soloists, Monteverdi Choir, et al.

Just ordered:
