seems like decent value at £2.70 a disc...
Thanks JB, it's now @ £14.

Barenboim's 1st Beethoven Piano Sonata cycle on EMI for less than a tenner?

If you don't own it, I would suggest you should...

I love that cycle... it wooed me away from Kempff

beautifully packaged too and an utter steal at that prive...

any idea what his Mozart is like, I'd have have thought he'd be a bit, I don't know, bombastic, for Mozart...?

jaybee... his Mozart is actually very underrated, and is in many people's top 3.... both his Sonata and Concerto box-sets are worth owning, in fact (I own both). He seems to be in a minority as a pianist in that whereas he is principally known for his Beethoven, I think he really does also have a fine grasp of the Mozartian language... so, go for it.

I wouldn't post anything in the BT if I didn't think it was well worth the money.

Just a heads up for those interested.... I know that Berglund's Sibelius set is well loved on here, but has been OOP for a few years... well, it's just been re-issued by EMI and is now available for a tenner...

I'm quite sure, Sean will be onto you all to add this to your collection... ;-)
