Don't have it yet, but I want it. Though I just might buy one of the earlier releases for less...

 

Good idea for a thread.

On 14th October, Sony is releasing a whole series of budget box sets, a few of which I am looking forward to:
- All of Copland's best known pieces for £15.99 (http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Aaron-Copland-Collection-Orchestral/dp/B00EC0VWYW/ref=pd_sim_sbs_m_h__2)
- Complete works of Webern for £10.99 (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Anton-Weber...0VW3S/ref=sr_1_2?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1380564143&sr=1-2&keywords=complete+webern)

Also worth mentioning is a Naxos box set which came out a few weeks ago: the complete Madrigals of Gesualdo for £20.29 (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Gesualdo-Co...sualdo-Complete-Madrigals-Delitiæ-Longhini/dp/B00E3ISIAO/ref=pd_sim_sbs_m_h__45)

That Copland collection looks nice!

 

I'm repeating myself here with this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Bach-Cantat...i/dp/B00ETHPJ1U/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1381006533&sr=8-1&keywords=bach+gardiner
Release date 14th of October

 

Classic recordings by Bohm, Krips and Kleiber

 

Can't wait for the new Webern box - thanks for the heads-up Winter traveler!

 

 

 

St. Matthew Passion - J.S. Bach
Rene Jacobs, conductor; Harmonia Mundi

 

One of the best Beethoven cycles ever, now in an inexpensive box.

 

A new complete Beethoven edition from Brilliant.
86 cds in all.

 

I have one of the older editions of the Brilliant complete Beethoven and I must say that I am very impressed by consistent high standard. Kurt Masur does the symphonies; Friedrich Gulda does the concertos and sonatas; Alfred Brendel the other piano music; Peter Schreier the Lieder; even the artists I hadn't heard of, such as the Guarneri Quartet doing the SQs, were excellent. This is one of the few Beethoven purchases I've ever had to make

 

All the Quatuor Mosaiques Haydn Quartets in one box set.
yummy

 

Finally! Time to purchase them.

 

Like Skrowaczewski ?
complete Oehms recordings

 

50 cds of music.

 

51 cds.

 

For those interested, Presto Classical retailer is featuring the re-release of Westminster Legacy (Boxes) Volumes 1 (Chamber Music) & 2 (Orchestral Music). To my knowledge, these Korean imports were first issued in the latter months of 2012. No idea about the remastering.

Universal's Millennium Classics and Westminster remasterings of a decade or more ago were excellent. The preceding MCA, not so. Also, it's worth mentioning that these "new" boxes do not contain every Westminster recording.

Presto's prices plus shipping seem to be the best currently offered, but do check other retailers, if interested.
