Classical CD-guide in print or on web?

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.

The Basic Record Library book offered by Performance Today, the NPR radio program is a nice starter.

The Penguin Guide is my favorite: Also "Fanfare" magazine.

Hassel, may I suggest that you hold off on purchase until you become aware, reviews, listening to 1 minute clips on Tower's site, and reading the chat sites here and over at Gramophone.com. I've got lots of disc's I find "not up to the music".

The best resource on the Internet is the newsgroup rec.audio.classical.recordings. Best way to find a recommendation for a particular piece is to try the google search on the newsgroup. There are some really knowledgeable people who post to that newsgroup and you can learn a lot by simply reading their comments.
