Difficult to know what to say. I dont like a singer so I'll replace them with someone I do, which, leaving aside technical issues, is ridiculous. 

In addition the Immortal Performances site is living in a bygone era in that you can't download or stream their albums. Whereas you can with many Guild ones. 

I emailed them some time ago and very politely asked them about this and no-one replied, so I've just tried again.

I received also a pdf about the future of Immortal Performances

Our music society, which commenced 44 years ago, has now reached

its final latitude. Richard Caniell, the founder and sound

engineer continues his work but he is in his 94th year, while the others are in

their late 70s, 83 and Scott is 61. An inevitable terminus for production is clearly

ahead, and while we have 20 or more sets in varied levels of production and an im-

portant boxed set of premiere concerts planned for 2027, some

considerations should be given a special light.

What our patrons should recognize is that the Dream Ring and the Beethoven 1939 Cycle

boxed sets are now a Limited Edition, present in dwindling number. They are extremely

expensive to produce and when the few we have left are gone, they will not be reproduced.

This factor extends, as well, to a 2027 boxed set: it will be a Limited Edition and when the

small number of it is sold, it cannot be reproduced.

Given the recent hospitalization and illness of Richard Caniell and the month’s

standstill which resulted, it’s necessary to consider the subject of the availability of

all our sets. When we end our publication of new releases this does not signal the

end of our operation as we intend, if possible, to continue supplying sets – over

200 in number. These will continue to be available for mail order, however

the Limited Editions, when sold out, will not be further available.

concerning the continuance of
