Just in case any of you were wondering if I had a life at all, I hereby offer evidence proving that I definitely have no life. I have spent more than 100 hours listing in alphabetical order the submissions to my thread "Audiogon Recordings to Die for." The full list is thirteen complete pages in nine point type single spaced. I estimate people have made more than 600 different suggestions. Not a bad shopping list. Below is a summary of the most often recommended recordings. For this summary I have combined all vinyl and digital listings along with reference to record labels. On my overall list I have broken them out separately. I would like to thank all those who have made suggestions and encourage each of you to continue making more recommendations as you discover other pieces worthy of this list. I also would like to commend all of you for sticking to the rule of only posting music and not comments toward peoples recommendation. "Audiogon Recordings to Die for" is a great asset to us all, keep up the great work.
