A 2 for 1 CD set by Willi Boskovsky, the master of Strauss waltzes. About $8.50/CD.

Recommended by NPR's Guide to Classical music, this complete set of Prokofiev's 5 piano concertos is thoroughly enjoyable. Double CD set for about $8.25/CD

Also a tad over my $10/CD preferrence, This masterpiece by Piatigorsky/BSO/Munch is a real find. Get it before it goes out of print!

Some of Glass' best works, in a wonderful performance. If you're new to Glass, this is a perfect intro at a great price.

'Gramophone''s "Chamber Music of the Year" award winner for 2001. A nice introduction to Vaughan Williams at less than $6!

A wonderful overview of Part's minimalsim-cum-spiritualism style, including a great performance of the phenomal 'Tabula Rasa'. Great sonics, too. Exposure yourself to Part's freshness. Under $8.

Only the Salonen recording with the LA Phil comes even close to this masterwork by Reiner/CSO at the height of their powers, for whom the piece was originally comissioned. Under $9.

A 'Rosette' recipient in the Penguin Guide, Kuijken and the OAE give a wonderful period rendition of the 'Paris' symphonies. A great purchase at any price, a true bargain at less than $6/CD.

I actually have the '89 original full-price release, but now they're an even better deal. A period instrument set, the OAE does a great job here, with lively and peppy renditions. A bargain @ $6/CD.

Gramophone says, "showing Haydn at his most inspired". Expand your Haydn exposure for only $6/CD.

One of the definitive Beethoven sonata cycles, according to 'Gramophone' (and I agree!). With 9 CD's, it's less than $7/CD!

The best, most moving, and authentic version of Gorecki's painfully beautiful Third, at any price. At $8, it's a steal. Recommended to absolutely everyone.
