the most beautiful Baroque box; inside & outside

A sturdy colourful box full of excellent previously issued cd’s (most out of print now on Vivearte, etc) resembles the proverbial box of Belgian chocolates. Buy it, and feel happy about your music collection for the rest of your life.
It has particularly nice Purcell, Pergolesi and Schutz discs, but actually every disc is excellent.
Highly highly recommended (IMHO)
