And now, for me:

1 of: Beethoven [13 CD Box Set] [Audio CD]
By: Ludwig van Beethoven, Herbert von Karajan

A ginormous set, the complete 1980s symphony cycle and Missa Solemnis, the violin concerto with Mutter from 1979(?), and a ton of other stuff... basically at least one version of everything in his entire recorded Beethoven repertoire. And only $40. Just released last month which I guess is why I hadn't come across it before.

I know some people hate Karajan for a wide variety of reasons, but I've never been disappointed in any of the recordings he made with the BPO and this set mostly features them with IIRC a few bits done with their Viennese counterparts (who are not too shabby either ).

But Amazon is giving out extra rewards points on music downloads until the end of the year, so I expect I may treat myself to a little something.

And then there's the digital stuff:

• 1 of: Beethoven: Für Elise; Eroica Variations, Op.35; 6 Bagatelles Op.126; 6 Ecossaises WoO83 [MP3 Download]
• 1 of: Beethoven: Diabelli Variations [MP3 Download]
• 1 of: Beethoven: Complete works for Winds and Brass Vol. 1 [MP3 Download]
• 1 of: Beethoven: Complete works for Winds and Brass Vol. 2 [MP3 Download]
• 1 of: Beethoven, L.: Piano Trios (Complete) (Eisenstadt Haydn Trio) [MP3 Download]

And a very Ludwig van Christmas was had by... me!
