Home Classical Court

From Perotin to Prokofiev (and beyond), performed by Caruso to Khatia, it's all here.

Is there any chance you guys can help a newbie out?

I need help putting together my first viny collection and I want it to be a good one. Considering the cost of new vinyl, I can't afford many mistakes.

Classical is a relative unknown to me. I know I love it, but not all of it. Sometimes I hear stuff on the radio that makes my want to pull over to the side of the road because driving is to much of a distraction. But, it seems whenever I bought classical cd's I end up disliking and never playing them. I've decided that its time for me to change all that. On the hardware front, I've decided theres no place for digital in my main system right now; I've sold my cdp and am buying my first table. I've also decided to replace my speakers with something thats strenghts are related to music, not hifi. Most likely Spendors.

So, back to the music, and vinyl. I'd like to place an order for new vinyl and need some suggestions.

My likes are prety simple. I have yet to acquire a taste for full symphony. I'm not sure that to call the type of music I like so far. Small ensemble? Chamber? Trio, Quartet etc?

I also like piano, strings, piano and vocals. I really love vocals and piano.

Theres this cd called Music For A Glass Bead Game, which I'm sure you all know, from John Marks. I hate this cd. It was supposed to be excellant, according to you know who. This is not an example of what I like.

And, above all, its got to move me. Or not move me. If it glues me to my chair so I can't move, all the better.

Moving in the direction, but really need a map at this time,
Bryan
