Went to the Cincinnati Public Library annual book sale and picked up about 50 single LPs (mostly classical) and about 10 box sets (all classical).
A very kind audiophile that I met there gave me a
NM Britten "War Requiem" (London, Britten,Pears,Fischer-Dieskau, Vishnevskaya) from off his stack.
I have been wanting to pick this up for years and just never found one that was in good shape or was affordable.
I paid $1.00 for the Britten as well as the other discs.
I do have another version by Rattle (digital)that is pretty wonderful. But this one has such a low sound floor and soundstaging that the digital version doesn't portray. Not to mention the dynamic shading and impact.Amazing!
Rushton I know you have this and love it. Now I do too.
