Classical lp dilemma - recommendations, please

Didn't Beethoven composed "Fur Elise"??
A-must for Mussorgski to have Shekharazada. I cannot specify the label since I didn't listen to this piece for years.

Without going into the specific records you are looking or, I have been most impressed with the following re-issues in classical music (on LP--for us that aren't dinasour's too)
1. Classic Records (particularly the 45 RPM versions)
2. Klavier
3. King Analog
Classic Records sells direct (and has a decent sale going on now) The other 2 are available through Cisco. There are of course the usual outlets for many of these such as Acoustic Sounds, Music Direct, and Red Trumpet but they may not stock the full catalog at all times.

...Yes, he did Mara. For a student called Elise, it seems. I don't know if anything else ensued. But, it ain't bad to have Beethoven compose s/thing for you!

My recommedation is go buy some used vinyl and listen
for yourself. It's cheap. Buy 5 recordings of the 9th
and enjoy 'em all. You'll find your favorite, or like
me, have 2 or even 3 favorites! You can even sell back
the ones you didn't care for and buy some Mussorgsky,
Chopin or more Beethoven (yes, he did write fuer Elise)

OK - these are my favs of the 9th.
Fritz Reiner's, Chicago Symphony, RCA.
Sir Georg Solti, Chicago Symphony, London.
Herbert von Karajan, Berlin Philharmonic, Deutsche Gramaphon

sorry for the fur elise snafu. i'm terrifically embarassed. hare kare is my only alternative, isn't it?

(dramatic pause)

seriously though, thanks for the help!
