I know we try not to plug things commercial on this site, but I'm sorry stephen (zeus), this one is too good not to tell anyone about it.
English based web retailer (CD) selections have acquired a bulk supply of Delos discs which includes the Shostakovich Chamber Symphony SACD with Orbelian. The price is a laughable £3.99, - between a third and a quarter of the english amazon price (= approx $9US or $10Aus).
Also listed are quite a few of Delos's excellent Virtual Reality and/or Dolby Surround sound cds, including Korngold Symph (De Preist and the Oregon S.O.), Dvorak's Stabat Mater (in a very good performance with Zdenek Macal) and Gliere's Sym no. 2 (also with Macal) as well as a VERY good and spectacular Berlioz Te Deum. This is too good to miss. I grabbed 6 discs and am going back for more.

Recently bought quite a few CD's from this site (about 10) all were amazingly cheap. Regis is a good title to type into the search as it will produce 2 disc CDs reduced to 99p, many are well rated and have 3 stars from the peguin guide. Another cheap choice is Brilliant Classics, which though not all great recordings, many like the complete shostakovich symphonies are well regarded and get very high reviews on CD review sites (those that have reviewed it).

Thanks for the tip nucaleena, I now plan on picking up a couple of delos CDs.
