Amazon's MP3 album Daily Deal for 11/26/2009 is: The 99 Most Essential Tchaikovsky Masterpieces (Amazon Exclusive), by Various Artists, for $1.99 (was previously $5). Using the $3-off code from Amazon, MP34FREE, you can have this 12 hour collection of Tchaikovsky for free. Unlike many previous of these "The Most 99 Essential Masterpieces" collections, the longer pieces are basically complete--e.g. The Nutcracker, various symphonies and concertos (including the famous Concerto #1 in B-flat minor). Also various shorter famous pieces, e.g. Marche Slav and the 1812 Overture are part of this collection. (The Vivaldi collection also featured complete pieces--both that and this are Amazon Exclusives--perhaps Amazon pushed them to do that. The Vivaldi is on sale as part of the 500+ albums for $5 at Amazon for the Black Friday period (i.e. on sale now). Here's the Vivaldi link, if you're interested--it's good stuff too) ). And, remember that with code MP34FREE you get $3 off when buying MP3...so you can get the Tchaikovsky for FREE! Info on the code here; it expires Nov. 30 at 11:59PM Pacific time. Reviews, track-samples and purchase-link here. Track-list: 1. Concerto No. 1 in B-Flat Minor for Piano and Orchestra, Op. 23: I.
