So... instead of having one properly filled 2CD set for a typical $24.95 or $29.95. we have bought three CDs for $40 (2x $19.95), including one disc of a mere 24 minutes, and another of just 46 minutes. Honestly, I find this offensive. "The Red House" in total is 82 minutes… just too long to fit onto one CD. Had that score happened to be 79 minutes long, it would have just been one CD, and the 24 minute CD that offends you so much would not exist. (Alternately, they could have recorded it not-quite-complete.) But that single CD would have cost you the same $19.95 that Intrada sold the 2CD set for. Had they done so, would you have complained that they should have released the single "Red House" CD with this new CD and sold it to you for $24.95? If so, why shouldn't we demand they double (or triple!) up every release and sell them to us for bargain prices? These things cost money to produce. Buy them or don't. But please spare me your inane terms like "properly filled 2CD set." Because that is utter nonsense. I agree Schiffy, we are darn lucky to get these CDs at any length.

I for one am delighted with a 47-minute CD (and a CD of suites! at that) - it's a great length for a single listening session, and really gives the chance for each element of music to shine.
