Havergal Brian Gothic Symphony from Hyperion

[erato]

With and without VAT I guess.

[Alan Howe]

So who's going to sell it sans VAT? HMV?

[erato]

If you're outside the EU, as I guess hemmesjo is (and I am), he will see the VATfree price.

[Alan Howe]

But not a postage-free price, presumably...

[erato]

amazon.co.uk does postage free to Norway at least. But they are usually not the cheapest regarding new releases But not being a certified member of the Brian fanclub (now I've said it) I haven't studied prices on this release in detail.

[Dundonnell]

At least you wrote "certified" rather than "certifiable"

[erato]

Yes I did, but I did think about it for a pretty long time before finally deciding.

[Dundonnell]

An evening I shall NEVER forget

[Albion]

Nor me!

 

[Alan Howe]

Apart from, perhaps, The Trojans under Colin Davis a decade ago at the Barbican, this was the most memorable concert I have ever been to. For splendour and spectacle nothing could touch it.

[Mark Thomas]

How many of US were there? Yes, it was an absolutely amazing night, and I'm not even that fond of the Gothic.
