tel 0115 982 7500 fax 0115 982 7020 OCTOBER 2013 LIST See inside for valid dates Dear Customer Boxsets feature heavily in our list this month, primarily due to a big promotion that we now have running until Christmas (pp.12-19), but we would also like to point out couple of exciting new boxes that might be of interest. The Decca Sound is a brilliant 50 album overview of analogue recordings that Decca produced in the pre-digital era. The beginnings of high fidelity, their ‘Full Frequency Stereophonic Sound’ became a worldwide hallmark of sonic excellence, bringing in a golden age of classical recorded music. Included in the box are celebrated recordings from the likes of Solti, Haitink, Kertesz and Dorati - recordings and performances that certainly still stand the test of time today. See p.2 for details. The Bach Cantata Pilgrimage is a series that has been closely followed by many collectors over the past few years, especially since the Monteverdi Choir’s move from DG to the wonderful presentation of the SDG label. For those who have eagerly picked up every volume, the complete collection in a single box may be superfluous, but for anyone who has simply dabbled, or maybe not even tried, it is a real treat. Coming in at £149.95, it is also a great saving on the c.£500 value of the individual items (especially bearing in mind that several volumes have now been deleted). See p.3 for details. As we are rapidly running out of space, we will just mention a few other items quickly. New release highlights this month include Chailly’s new Brahms cycle (Decca), a fabulous new St Matthew Passion from Rene Jacobs (Harmonia Mundi), Dvorak Cello Concertos from Steven Isserlis (Hyperion), Shostakovich’s Symphony no.4 from Petrenko (Naxos) and much much more - priorities are all featured on pp.2-4. New special offers include the afore-mentioned boxsets, plus complete catalogues from Naxos, Signum, Supraphon, Alto and Channel Classics. Plenty to take advantage of!
