Harmonia Mundi "New Releases" disc samplers

Thanks Photon46! excellent link!

Thanks Photon, I own a 6CD set called Europa from Harmonia Mundi which is 'Musical treasures of 25 Centuries'. Is this the one you mean. The single disc samplers I was referring to is a 4 x yearly compilation of upcoming releases with release dates given months ahead. If there are any reviewers reading I will be pleased to buy every one from you at a better price than the used stores will give. On another note I went to the largest record store in town to buy some choices off one of these samplers. Not only did they not have even 1 in stock they couldn't even order 90%. They're buyer must have ears of steel. Sad.

Psacanli, yes that's the one I was talking about. I didn't realize there was the "upcoming release" sampler series from HM as well. You are right about the paucity of good classical music retailing at the local level. I've given up on local retailers for classical, I order everything online now. We have a pretty good music retailer in Tampa that sells a lot of good used vinyl. They used to be a great source of used classical vinyl. They took out all of the classical vinyl though, guess it just didn't sell well enough to justify the shelf space it took on the retail floor.

I usually listen to the sampler once and then toss it in the trash. Thought it was not worth the effort to sell it. Of course, it was not until this thread that I realized that some people actually "bought" them. Guess I will now toss them into my resell box.

Kr4, I'm sure you're just kidding about trashing the Harmonia Mundi samplers after 1 listen-unless you just don't care for classical music?? Regardless, I am genuine about buying all of them from you-including any old ones that may have missed the circular file. Pete. pts@dccnet.com
