| Brilliant Classics | In Holland the Brillant Classics label is available in
the stores of a drugstore chain, named "Kruidvat". Kruidvat has a website where
one can order cd's, but only from Holland. Brilliant Classics cd's can be ordered
at Zweitausendeins, and sometimes at Berkshire Record Outlet (see below). Kruidvat website: Kruidvat entertainment shop. The Joan Records (Brilliant) website gives full and very detailed information (track lists) of all available Brilliant cd's: http://www.joanrecords.com/ On this site I have a Brilliant page/table with the most important Brilliant cd's released in Holland. See also: Bijlagen and Brilliant "coming soon". |
| Dutch Masters | A series from Philips (Universal), also containing some
Decca issues, dedicated to ... Dutch masters. Some names: Mengelberg, Van Beinum, Haitink,
Brüggen, Krebbers. This is a midprice series, so you will not find the separate issues in the main tables of this site. The series is only released in Holland. For more information see the sites under "where to order" below. From beginning March 2003 this series has been cancelled. Some items are still (in March 2003) available at a very few shops. |
| general info | |
Most of the cd's mentioned on this site in the tables ("de tabellen") are available outside Holland, worldwide. In stores, or at websites. On this page you will find some information about special issues available in Holland only (or mainly). Most interesting for people living in others countries are the VKZ issues (see right), Brilliant Classics cd's and Dutch Masters series. Prices The prices mentioned in the tables are in Euro's (EUR) (rounded), and I restrict myself to cd's with prices between EUR 1 and EUR 10, with a very few exceptions. |
