Well maybe just a couple more…

The Edizione Vivaldi box sets from Philips are ridiculously good. The records are phenomenal, and the pressings sound better than any I’ve heard from MoFi, Speakers Corner, any 220g, etc, etc. I’m not a big Vivaldi guy at all, but these end up in heavy rotation somehow. On the subject, the Standage/Pinnock Four Seasons was also a surprising delight. 

Also Serkin’s Marlboro festival Mozart concertos. As a bonus he only hums about 20% as often as Gould. Ok. I’m good. Oh, and these are all basically dollar discs at this point… in the audio world it’s nice to feel like you’re getting away with something sometimesLOLLOL

Recommendations for high quality classical recordings on LP are always welcome. Thumbs Up
It can be hit & miss finding them.

Excellent recording - shows how good classical music can be on LP....
Wonderful version of the Holberg suite.

There’s a mint pressing on discogs for all of £3… VG+ for £1.25. Long may they stay so misinformed!

Another recording, this one a recent release that I am completely blown away by. Sadly, not available in vinyl, but a masterpiece in any format: Lisa Moore - Frederic Rzewski - No Way Through But Around. Completely blows away my previous benchmarks for solo piano.

You can hear the braying brass in 'Mars' bouncing off the walls of the recording venue.
Mars is not an easy listen with this recording - it is hard hitting & this is surely intentional
for something called 'The Bringer of War'.

The rest of the recording is superb & the female choir at the end of Neptune ends it beautifully.
