60 CD Box Set for under $30!!!

in general, all excellent performances. check it out before it's gone. when i ordered - a few days ago - it was in stock. now it says 6-11 days. i suspect by next week it will no longer be available.

Amazon has listed the number of cd's as 1. Must be a mistake.

DO WANT! I already have another Beethoven Box Set (paid $200ish), but it is definitely not as good as this one.

the thing that amazed me about this set is that they are all known recordings and recordings which generally have received excellent reviews. everything here is just about top notch. the only section that i am unfamiliar with is the piano sonatas. it seems that most of them are performed by someone i have never heard of (Yukio Yokoyama). may be a weak link in the set. a full listing of the box set can be found here: http://www.selections.com/BX937/beet...rpieces-60cds/

according to amazon, the set is back "in stock."

IN for 1; thanks for link.

Thanks for the heads up! Looks like a great deal.

WOW! That is an awesome deal. Should be about half or slightly more than half of his complete opus.

I paid a lot more for my Complete Beethoven Edition on DG - AND EVEN THAT'S INCOMPLETE!!

For anyone wanting some Beethoven - jump on this NOW!

 

[Romis]

Yep, good deal! They could`a throw on Bach too...

 

[scompton]

I just bought a copy. I've been looking at the EMI 50 CD Schubert set for a while. That also seems like a very good deal to me.

 

[ken36]

Very good offer. Bless you Amazon.

 

[chowk]

Thanks for the heads up. Been on a music buying spree lately... just add another 60 cds to the list
