and certainly not for audiophiles. But perhaps should be listened to within a context relative to how they are played today by today's artist. Perhaps then, deeper appreciation for the musicians or the composers can emerge?
I am bringing a millennial friend to a Beethoven Symphony 7 concert (Vanska/Minesota) next year. She does not own CDs or vinyl. Her main intake for music is Apple Music. She knows the name Beethoven. She does not know the tunes. Never heard the 7th. I am going to recommend several current recording as well as add Toscanini in the mix to see how she hears it. :)
