Insane!
Look at this. Would you pay that much for a compact disc of anything? I wouldn’t. I couldn’t. Even if it was a CD set of me playing Brahms’ Ballades, I couldn’t imagine paying almost $600.
But I knew something like this would happen when I began watching this auction. The story is that Kyrstian Zimerman made these Brahms recordings, DG released them, then he had second thoughts and the recording was deleted. Very few people have copies of this set, and when any reach the used market they fetch scandalous sums, though not always over $500.
