CD 31 Orff: Der Mond This 31CD-box brings together all the operatic recordings that the German conductor Wolfgang Sawallisch (1923-2013) made in the years from 1956 to 1993 for EMI Classics and Electrola (now Warner Classics). Aged 11, Wolfgang Sawallisch (1923-2013) heard a performance of Humperdinck's fairytale opera Hänsel und Gretel in his native Munich and, there and then, decided that he wanted to be the man in the orchestra pit who waved his arms and made things happen. It took him a while - war service as a radio operator and a spell as a prisoner of war delayed the inevitable - but by his late 20s he was conducting opera at Augsburg (starting with Hänsel und Gretel) and he had barely turned 30 when at Aachen he became the youngest Generalmusikdirektor in Germany. Opera recordings followed and his 1957 version of Richard Strauss's Capriccio is still regarded as the benchmark. Also in this box, along with more Strauss, perhaps the finest achievements of Sawallisch's other operatic hero, Wagner. Copyright DirectToU LLC. All Rights Reserved.
I believe the seller had the item drop shipped. It was not sent with any padding and the box suffered some slight damage. I contacted the seller about the issue. It took a day or 2 before reply-but they did offer me a discount or to return package. I was happy they replied and were receptive to doing something to correct the problem. I decided on the the discount they offered to avoid the trouble of the return.
ImportCDs is a great seller. I ordered the Contagion 4k steelbook from them, it arrived from Oz to Canada, but was unfortunately the wrong version, regular instead of steelbook. They were very quick with their response and issued me a refund. I've used them several times in the past and will continue to buy from them based on my great experience with their CS. Thanks!
The item was listed "Limited Edition 4k Blu-ray", but I received the standard 4K Blu-ray edition. Regardless, it is brand new and sealed, and the seller offered me a small refund as a gesture of good faith, and professional courtesy. The shipping was also super fast. Pleasure doing business with.
