...at about $41 (not including VAT) from MDT in the UK. Haitink on Decca is also a good all-around choice. Of really recent sets, I'm making my way through the recent Caetani SACD set on ARTS (got the box set for about $95 at a local store), and they're proving to be really terrific performances in great sound. I really like the 8th on this set--it's perhaps the best new recording of this work I've heard in a long time (and I've heard Rostropovich, Berglund, Kofman, Wigglesworth, and Kitaenko, to name the more recent ones).Russell
