Classics Today.com offers very good reviews. Though not enough to really be of great help. In other words they have left out a bunch of great recordings that are my "definitive". So I would not purchase based solely on their recommendation. I would consider all the top choices before I buy. I use tower's one minute Audio Play, saves me a BUNCH!! of money. Its alot of time invested, but at the moment I'm only working part time. I may have to play the selection over several times, but works for me. On some of my favorite compositions, I have 1 to 4 recordings, enjoy them all.
Classical CD-guide in print or on web?
How do Audiogoners decide which recording to buy of a a classical music piece? I know there is the Good Classical CD Guide from British Grammophone magazine, but astheir customer service is awful, I haven't reveived it yet after ordering it three times. Are there other resources, maybe on the web, which compare recordings, and tell you which ones are the best?
