    Default Classical MP3 download bargains on Amazon

    Yep, MP3, but ....

    Here's a mono set of the complete Beethoven (32) piano sonatas from the 1950s played by Wilhelm Kempff for £3.99.
    Superb performances and pretty decent mono sound - but I doubt it loses much, if anything, in MP3 format.

    And some utterly wonderful Bruckner symphonies in old Soviet Style Stereo, this doesn't lose much in MP3, either.
    Symphonies 0, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 & 9 conducted by the marvellous Gennadi Rozhdestvensky.
    Oh, that Russkie brass in Bruckner! You ain't heard it like this before!

    The very best 0 (Nullte) I have heard - Rozhdestvensky easily places it among the great Bruckner symphonies, imho.

    £7.49 for the lot.

    Anyone else come across similar bargains?

    Thanks for the tip Jerry,

    I downloaded the Bruckner, and am listening now - superb! BTW, the price has dropped since your original post, it is now only £6.09 for all those symphonies. The Aberdonian in me just couldn't resist!
