tbh, I have a very long list of stuff in my Amazon wish list basket, and every so often I casually price-check. I do not intend to move onto these sonatas for a little while, but occasionally, the prices drop very low and you just have to buy. I'm sure you know what I mean... ;-))

btw, unless you own it already, I'm surprised you've not gone for the Dufay CD mentioned above... (!?)

Unfortunately I do Jared....there are 400+ CDs on my Wish List at the moment!!

That very CD is on my Wish List Jared but that particular disc is an older Hyperion version whereas the one that I am after is on the later Helios label. I am very conscious of the age of some of these CDs on Amazon as I have bought one or two in the past that were suffering from "browing" so I tend to buy the newest version available.

^^hmmm... Fergus, I've heard of 'browing' but am not sure what it is. does the CD lose some of its high end performance/ quality, the older it gets?

It simply becomes unplayable Jared and therefore useless. It was an issue with some early CDs and I have one or two myself.
