Having seen the posting about Harmonia Mundi bargains at Presto Classical I bought

Marco Dall'Aquila: Pieces for Lute (Paul O'Dette)

via Amazon direct from HM.  Very soon after I started playing it I recalled reading a review somewhere last year, which must have been about this disc, bewailing the recording quality.  It is recorded in a very reverberant acoustic.  Best avoided!

Having scrolled through the first page of 100, I'd say that's quite likely.  Thanks for the tip, Jeffrey!

Great news; thanks for that!

Always on the lookout for unusual reportoire, I have had my eye on the 10 cd set of Rheinberger piano music from Carus. I first saw it on jpc for 50 euros which, for me, is rather a lot to pay for a shot in the dark. Amazon UK then had it for a tad over £40 but astonishingly it is now listed for £16.39. I have taken the plunge. Should anyone else be interested here is the link:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Piano-Works-J-Rheinberger/dp/B005805ET4/ref=wl_it_dp_o?ie=UTF8&coliid=I315RY7TLK1JZ9&colid=AZFAVK42ANC5

It's gone back up to £46.22 now - glad that you caught the error so early for us, thanks again

For a short while it was very cheap on mdt's prerelease list, now it's up there as well, so it seems it was a mistake by the label. Anyway, I got my confirmation at the low price.

[Opus106]

it seems it was a mistake by the label.

Or probably the only way they were going to sell some boxes.

message from amazon (uk) re the Rheiberger piaano set:
"Unfortunately, the release date for the item(s) listed below was changed by the supplier, and we need to provide you with a new estimated delivery date based on the new release date:

  J. Rheinberger "Klavierwerke"
    Estimated arrival date: September 26 2011 - September 30 2011"

[Lethevich]

Just as long as they don't change the price, I won't have to raise hell. They didn't with the (correct) Chopin box entry, so I am optimistic.

I  just checked the status of my order. it's still there at the bargain price.
