--> <------ Dkb's brain needed right here

Posted by SnaggS on November 15, 2000 at 19:39:30

Heya, one of the reasons Ive bought (but not recieved yet *sigh*) a SACD is to begin my classical music phase (explored almost every other genre). I dont have the knowledge to know which performances, orchestras, yadda yadda yadda are the ones to buy and which to avoid.

So far I have bought;

Bruno Walter, Beethoven: Symphony No. 6 in F Major, Op. 68 Pastoral
Bruno Walter, Schubert: Symphony No. 8 in B Minor Unfinished
Bruno Walter, Mozart: Symphonies Nos. 38 & 40
Vladimir Horowitz, Chopin, Rachmaninoff, Schumann
Yo-Yo Ma Both
Aaron Copland, Copland: Appalachian Spring

Im more familiar with 20thCent classical music. Copland is one of my favorites, Horowitz I have been mesmorised with before and I would do bad things to get a Eric Satie SACD.. I have no idea about which of the other recordings available on SACD to get.

Heres a list, if you could put them in the order of importance and delete any bad discs, that would be appreciated
