I need help, DESPERATELY.

I saw this CD box-set about a month ago at Gramophone (when cbw zhiyi jeremysia and i were out celebrating end-of-eoys).



This is priced at $99.90, but when my SSO Friends card arrive, it's gonna be 10% off, which means each cd is approx. $11.24, which is not bad for a DG recording.

But some of the CDs aren't to my liking, especially CD2 (seeing as i already have both dvorák and rococo-variations) and cd1 (except schumann). I don't enjoy chamber music that much, so CD 4,5,6 won't be that enjoyable for me.

The 2 CDs which I truly want are CD3 and 7 (i'm a big shostakovich fan like DUH). Both ran out of print, and I still lack Shostakovich Cello Concerto 2 (i dont have shostakovich's full concerto set, cello concerto2 is lacking). His "Nutcracker" is internationally acclaimed, and so is his Shostakovich-5.

So should I get this set, seeing as I am on a tight budget?

PS I'm looking forward to IMRE attachment, but NOT the safety briefing (which is tmr).
