    Default Bargain Alert: 100 CD Live Concert Box

    Rare live performances by just about every great classical music star of the 20th century. Track listings here...

    http://www.membran-online.de/product...roducts_id=818

    The price is a downright steal. After shipping to the US, it comes out to about fifty cents a CD.

    Is there a track listing or something like that somewhere? I am greatly confused by this German Amazon, and the translator is very poor

    The top link up there. The page runs out at CD 94, but the last six are just as good.

    What they could do...is fuse this monster box material with a boom box, providing an even cheaper and more convenient product.

    Has anybody used this site before, are they any good.
    Do they exist, some of the prices seem too good to be true?

    That's a link to Amazon Germany. Your local Amazon account works in all of the other Amazons (except China). Sometimes Europe gets deals that the US doesn't because of distribution and licensing agreements.

    Amazon Spain often gets the best prices. I got Scott Ross's complete Scarlatti box there for a third what it sells for in Amazon US. The prices go up and down as supplies go up and down though.

    Yes. It's going to take 6-8 weeks. This is the same company that has the $70 100 CD complete Furtwangler. (which I am trying to resist!)

    By the way, in Googling this, I'm finding out that Konzerte translates to "concerto". It isn't live performances. It's a collection of the greatest performances of concertos.

    Forgive me for being numb??
    How do you go on about ordering from a non resident Amazon account
    (apart from the fact my German isn't "that good")
    I've never done it
    Thanks

    Amazon Germany will take your Amazon US login. If you're familiar with ordering on Amazon, it's the same for Amazon.de.

    By the way, I just got the Scott Ross Scarlatti box from Amazon Spain. It cost $35 shipped and arrived in one week.

    This is also sold on amazon.co.uk for those of you in the UK. Slightly more expensive at £28.99 but free shipping fulfilled by Amazon and sold by the same seller as the German site.

    UK link here.

    Thanks Bigshot for the tip!

    Are you going for this one Lenfer? I'm oh so tempted, but I need to stick to my spending freeze!

    Bigshot: let us know how you like the set!

    Will do. I'm ripping Scott Ross's 34 CD complete Scarlatti set right now.

    Thanks! I read in another site that several are out-of-copyright, and the UK link says they are mostly mono recordings, but it's a good set of historical recordings.

    Has aynone seen track listings of the last 6 CDs ? I´ve got a portion of those recordings in the box that I find immediately interesting, but it is indeed tempting and more items might make me choose it, when it turns up here ...
