The Exton SACD for Honeck / Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra is now listed on Amazon's US site with a release date of September 6th, at the eye-watering price of $62.14!

This Mahler habit is starting to get expensive! :)

Cheers,
Herb

is that a normal price for a double SACD?  If so, I hope it comes out as a regular DC as well.

These people in England seem to have it reasonably priced as well. Keep in mind that the PSO's own store in Heinz Hall will have it eventually.

Presto Classical (UK) have it for $33.25, with a shipping charge of $3.30 to the United States. My experiences with Presto have been gratifying, and their shipping method takes about a week.
