With all these classical music posts, would anybody like me to revive my thread: “Classical Music for Afficionados?” I dropped it some time ago because of sparse participation. If interested just look up the site and participate. I’m going to re-create it now.
Mining classical music gold.
I’ve been streaming for months now. For some unexplainable reason I’ve been concentrating for the main part on the latest classical releases out there . Quizzically, I have ignored the unlimited access to recorded history that we have in our hands. Heifetz, Horowitz, Reiner, Toscanini, Piatigorsky, Stokowski and countless other twentieth century geniuses are copiously available. I just can’t believe it took me this long to wake up.
I’m writing this for any classical music lovers who, like me, have been blind to the mind-blowing potential afforded us.

Underrated and rarely spoken of Emil Gilels is a genius pianist. Rudolf Serkin is another. @rvpiano check out Gilels Beethoven and Mozart sonatas. Incredible. My go to favorite violinists are Heifetz and Oistrakh. Acoustic Sounds has a few Heifetz recordings on vinyl from their Analog Productions series. Good stuff. |
