[Saint-Georges: Violin Concertos 2; Qian Zhou, violin; Toronto Camerata; Kevin Mallon, conductor; Naxos 8.557322 (2003)]
A recent AfriClassical post discussed a budget recording of works of William Grant Still and Ulysses Kay. Today we take a brief look at two budget CDs of violin concertos of Le Chevalier de Saint-Georges (1745-1799), who is profiled at AfriClassical.com: (1) Saint-Georges: Violin Concertos; Takako Nishizaki, violin; Cologne Chamber Orchestra; Helmut Müller-Brühl, conductor; Naxos 8.555040 (2000) (67:54). (2) Saint-Georges: Violin Concertos 2; Qian Zhou, violin; Toronto Camerata; Kevin Mallon, conductor; Naxos 8.557322 (2003) (65:30). We did not find any other new recordings of the works of Saint-Georges selling at budget price.
Among the websites which sell each of these recordings for $8.99 US are Amazon.com, ArkivMusic.com, and NaxosDirect.com HBDirect.com lists them at $7.99 US. The lowest prices we found in a quick search of websites on which we have come to rely were at Amazon.com Marketplace Merchants, a variety of third-party stores which sell CDs through the website of Amazon.com We priced only new recordings. Naxos 8.555040 sold for as little as $5.33 US, and Naxos 8.557322 was as low as $4.91 US. We found the CDs selling at Presto Classical, based in the U.K., for £4.99 each.
