Man if your into Classical Music or just a Beginner this set is for you!!!

I got mine yesterday and I'm amazed!
Very very well presented in a NICE box...each CD is in a individual sleeve with original cover art.
Comes with a complete list of whats in the set as well as a THICK Chandos Catalog of all Cd's they have available.
Damn near every one of the 30 Cd's in this set are award winners!!!

Yes that's right I didn't mistype....30 Cd's!!

Have a look here at Chandos site and click on each one of the Cd's listed in this set and you'll see.

I'm telling ya this is the best presented box set I have ever seen!
They boast that it's 30 Cd's for the price of 3.....they aren't kidding.
Not available here in the states yet but.......
You can get it here for $45.99 shipped!! What a DEAL!!
(Yes the price was dropped a tad....was $48...that's what I paid)

Amazing....Presto Classical ships this big box set to the US from the UK for $3
** I had mine in less than a week UK to NY

Amazon won't have this released till February 10th and it's gonna be $70!!

For the quality and amount of music you get in this set....for the price it's a steal @ $45!!

Doesn't matter if your a Classical Music Collector or just starting out.....this is a must have for the price and the content!!

This one definately gets a Motzart 2 thumbs up!!!!

    Looks like a nice box set. I've just been starting to get into classical lately...this would probably be a great way to introduce myself to a wider variety. Might have to pick this up sometime in the near future.

    Thanks for the heads up.:)
