We have a lot of discs in each category.

This page on our website is intended to maintain a fairly complete and accurate list of what we have (or can easily get). (As of early December 2012, it still isn’t very complete ... ]

Write to us (kwcms@yahoo.ca) if you are interested in a recording of a concert you’ve seen but isn’t listed here - we may have it, or be arranging to get it.

It will also list news about recent special things, discs relevant to upcoming or recently past concerts, and so on.

This page will divide into three categories: News; List of Commercial CDs; List of our own concert CDs.

Prices

Our standard prices are: $20 for most of the commercial CDs; $15 for several, and $10 for some of them; and occasional double-sets, usually at $30. 

We have sold our own CDs (concert recordings) for the past several years at $10 each. (Two-disc sets, where the concert was too long for just one, go for $15)

They do not have commercially-printed covers etc, and come either in plastic sleeves or in very slim rigid plastic “jewel boxes” - your choice, with the sleeves (which are cheap, durable, and very space-economical) being the “default” option.

Now that there are NO good classical CD stores in the community, you may find our modest offerings a helpful resource for that small gift for the person with the kind of taste that our discs would appeal to.

- And, att Christmas - they do make good stocking-stuffers!
