Eclassical.com's Christmas sale will be back this year, with one 24-bit album on 50% discount each day from 1-24 December. From late December there should also be some "virtual box sets", which should be interesting.

 
Thanks for the update! Feel free to update as the deals start

The Christmas sale has now started: http://www.eclassical.com/pages/classical-advent-calendar.html . Two contrasting albums on day 1: one disc of Piazzolla, which I haven't heard yet, and 'La Spagna', a wonderful recording which I already have: it follows one theme used by various composers over several centuries.

Russian day at the eclassical advent sale: Mark Wigglesworth conducting Shostakovich's 9th and 12th symphonies (not his finest), and Julia Fischer playing Khachaturian, Prokofiev and Glazunov Violin Concertos.

A couple of notables: Hyperion are offering Angelika Kirchschlager's Liszt disc for a low price (£5.60 -- http://www.hyperion-records.co.uk/dc.asp?dc=D_CDA67934%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20&vw=dc), while on February 1 (Swedish time?) only, the Minnesota Orchestra's BIS recordings (basically their Beethoven cycle with Vanska) will be half price on eclassical.

If you feel you deserve an Easter present: the Bach Passions, Oratorios and B-minor Mass from the Bach Collegium Japan for $40.

Bach Collegium is awesome.

Annual reminder: the eclassical Christmas promotion runs from now until Christmas: http://www.eclassical.com/pages/christmas2013.html . 50% discounts daily on BIS and another label: this year, Harmonia Mundi. The first BIS offering is another from the BCJ cantata series, and Suzuki also supplies today's daily deal (Goldberg variations).
