Been listening to many sides of Sir Georg Solti Solti-Edition Vol. 6, Mostly choral numbers. Decca. Released 1981.
But, need a change of pace, so:
The Chamber Society of Lincoln Center. 4 LP box set from 1975. The Classic Record Company, for the Book-Of-The-Month-Club. Yea, when I bought it I though, this will probably really stink, but was supposedly in great condition and cheap. So took a chance. Glad I did, as this set is very nicely recorded, mic’d well, has a great soundstage and imaging, and it was mastered to provide that ‘your are going to get what was played’ approach, you can feel the room, you can clearly hear the musicians breath into their instruments, etc. which I like, a lot. Pressed onto heavy vinyl too. It’s fairly available on places like Discogs, for really pretty cheap (someone is selling a copy right now in VG+ condition for $.50), and IMO much better than some bigger label recordings of chamber music. If interested in this type of music, highly recommended.
