Classical Music - Check this out!!

I'm starting a Classical Music (cd) Collection and this seems to be a great resource.
I know this is a lot to ask, but most of the recommendation links are broken. Anyone have some suggestions as to which are the best renditions of each work?
TIA
Try Presto Classical's website: Presto Music | All things musical… on your doorstep Then click on Classical, then Composers, then Bach. There are almost 700 entries for keyboard music alone! Pick from the top of the list. You will see multiple review summaries, and you can play the start of every track. You will see offers for silver disk and downloads. You can also join their streaming service. It might just be your perfect one-stop-shop. It is mine! |
Agree that Dave Hurwitz at https://www.classicstoday.com/ is a great resource. His YouTube videos are generally excellent and always amusing. He has strong opinions on just about everything and is very well informed. You may not always agree with him, of course. |
OP, I am assuming you want to build a collection BUT you are not familiar with Classical music? If that's the case, boy are you in luck! By any chance do you spin CD's? People literally are giving CD's away. Secondly, there is a company called "Great Courses" These are study guides on many subjects. I own one called "How to Listen to and Understand Great Music". You could likely pick it up dirt cheap. Again this is a CD collection. Maybe they are online at this point. I don't know. I could recommend a few CD's that I own that are very relatable. I listen to about anything with Neville Mariner like the soundtrack to "Amadeus" I have more excellent suggestions if you like. Joe |
