My buying strategy is to put these items on my Amazon Wishlist, and check periodically. Eventually, a reasonably priced copy usually shows up. If not, I have to ask myself how much I want the CD in question.
Also, look for duplicate listings on Amazon - they sometimes happen. For example, there are at least two listings for Chailly's Bruckner set; I'm attaching the cheaper one.
Thanks for the good advice, guys.
BTW - that Cluytens/Beethoven box in the Amazon link looks very tempting [altho I need another Beethoven Nine like...].
That set has gotten mixed reviews among my friends who listen to a lot of Beethoven symphonies. Regardless, bear in mind that this same symphony set is included in this 50 CD Beethoven set, which is a fabulous bargain; I've seen it in local stores for $70.
... is pretty much all it will take.
A couple years ago, copies of the CDs in Blomstedt's Sibelius cycle were selling for like $125 each in ebay auctions. Now the whole cycle's been reissued as a budget set that you can get for about $16, and if you must have the original issue, you can find those for $10 each or so. I'll bet the people who paid $125 feel pretty silly about now.
people that are rolling in dough,don't think that way.they got what they wanted when they wanted it.only people like you and i want that hollywood ending,that they are sorry.snap back to the real world.
