Of course, if you’re reading this blog, you probably already have most of this. If not, now’s the time to jump. The set includes Kleiber’s recordings of Beethoven’s Symphonies Nos. 5 and 7, Brahms’ Symphony No. 4, Schubert’s Symphonies Nos. 3 and 8, as well as complete traversals of La Traviata, Der Freischutz, Tristan and Isolde and Die Fledermaus, all top drawer. The 12-CD set is budget priced. Here’s the link to the Amazon page.

That’s ok, I getcha.
actually, what I want for christmas is a collection of Oscar Peterson solo transcriptions, but this looks like a good Plan B 😉
What I really want is those early digital Deutsche Grammophon CDs in terrible etched-on-glass sound, remastered by someone who knows what he’s doing. The Karajan Gold edition isn’t bad (have they quit after the first batch, though?), and it would be the great if they did the same or better for Kleiber.
