KLASSIKNET's 101 Best Classical Music CDs:Building The Ultimate Record Collection

Add to my lists | Print this list

Just as great wines have their great years, so works of music have their "vintage" recordings which are of major historical significance and establish the standards by which all other recorded performances are judged.

The comparison stops there because the shelf-price of a great recording is most often the same as a mediocre one. Over 500 new releases come on to the market each month. Unless you are a specialist, who knows the real value of what’s in the bins?

Building a coherent record library can therefore be a daunting task, not to say very expensive if you get it wrong! KLASSIKNET’s 101 Best proposes a collection of vintage recordings worthy of the most demanding connoisseur.
