missing historic Beethoven discs

Here is my CD Universe wishlist (mostly containing many of the historic Beethoven performances that are in the 100-disc longbox from Brilliant Classics but not the 85-disc set that arrived here yesterday):

Music
		Beethoven: Symphony No 9 / Furtw�ngler, Bayreuth Festival Bay / Beethoven / Furtwangler / Schowarzkopf			$10.09
---this is the one that makes me miss not getting the extra 'historic' Beethoven recordings
		Schubert, Beethoven: Piano Trios / Cortot, Thibaud, Casals Beethoven / Casals / Cortot / Schubert / Thibaud			$10.09
---yes, the Schubert is in the Beethoven box too
		Beethoven: Piano Sonatas 21, 23, 30, 31 / Walter Gieseking Beethoven / Giesking			$10.09
		Karajan Edition - Beethoven: 9 Symphonien / Philharmonia Beethoven / Karajan / Philharmonia			$47.65
---only one of these discs is in the "historic" Beethoven box -- but the rest might not be half bad either
		Beethoven: Symphony no 3, Leonore no 1 & 2 /Klemperer, et al Beethoven / Klemperer			$10.09
		Beethoven: Piano Sonatas no 21-23, 25, 27, 30-32 / Schnabel Beethoven / Schnabel			$22.25
		Beethoven: Piano Sonatas No 29 & 32 / Solomon Beethoven / Solomon			$10.09
		Beethoven: Complete Piano Sonatas / Yves Nat L.V. Beethoven			$48.45
---the "historic" disc -- and more
		Best Beethoven 100 Best Beethoven 100			$16.15
---this doesn't seem to have any of the historic recordings but for 6 discs it seems like another great deal
		Beethoven: Sonatas For Cello And Piano / Pablo Casals, Et Al Pablo Casals			$13.29
		Historic Russian Archives - Oistrakh plays Violin Concertos David Oistrakh			$40.89
---again, the "historic" disc and a few others, probably fully worthy
		Symphonies - 100 CD Box Symphonies-The Symphonic Cycles Of The Great Compo Pre-Order Now! Available: Tuesday, November 06, 2007			$130.60
---Beethoven, Mozart, Haydn, etc. -- more ridiculous excess

---I'll try to maybe acquire the above incrementally... I seem to be getting hooked on old mono recordings, especially bargain basement.

my weekly horoscope

This week October 1 through October 7

Saturn in your sign is encouraging you to create firm foundations and fulfill your dreams step by step. Trying to take the shortest route isn't the best way ahead. You'll make the best progress if you complete the first step before moving on to the next. At the same time you may find that your fears tend to hold you back from doing anything that requires a leap into the unknown. Don't give in to them and keep yourself in a state of paralysis. It's time to feel the fear and do it anyway.
