furthermore, there's a whole lotta Palestrina for a ridiculous price!

Thanks Jared. Have blown my budget on Bach and Monteverdi this month, but I'll keep an eye on those!

funny that, the final dregs of my monthly budget has just been blown on Monteverdi, Pergolesi and Cavalli... I feel we have a lot in common... :-)

Indeed!

This is not exactly a bargain but this seems the best thread for posting ..

Basically its this ..



"...
For the first time ever DECCA presents the most comprehensive Ring edition ever assembled.

The complete Ring cycle is presented on 14 CDs:

For this Solti centenary edition the recordings have been remastered using the latest techniques in noise reduction to help further reduce tape hiss and other unwanted studio noises; some edits have been improved and a missing quaver at Donner’s entry in Scene 2 of Das Rheingold has been restored
+ book containing German / English libretti
... " etc etc


It costs Sterling 189 and it includes [as far as I can make out] ...

"...
Blu-ray disc
The complete Ring on one disc presented as lossless 24-bit files
Exclusive to this edition
..."

Seems like a tempting edition!

That missing quaver seals it for me.... ;)

András Schiff's marvellous 12 cd set on Decca of Johann Sebastian Bach's keyboard music is available on jpc.de for €24.99.

^^ that's an incredible bargain, Sean...

I'll stave off though, owing to having recently purchased the complete 15CD Angela Hewitt set on Hyperion.
