Really pleased to have been of help, my friend... the first two are simply must haves... Sarum Chant is slightly more of an acquired taste, I posted for Fergus & Simon who, like me, are in to Renaissance & Early Music... you'll find the sound world quite different, although all three of us will sincerely hope you grow into it.. ;-))

Some interesting box sets ..

[includes Beethoven on 85 cd's for 40 euro -- I have no idea of the quality of the performances or the recordings].

Some of those are tempting. Occasionally the Brilliant boxes are, well, brilliant.

James, that is a good set. I have the Guarneri string quartet cycle and I like it a lot. The Brendel Sonata cycle is very good and the Haskil and Grumiaux piano & violin cycle is truly marvellous. The Symponies are performed by Masur and the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra, I am not familiar with their cycle, but the Gewandhaus are a wonderful outfit.

Enjoy.
