lps chamber music like the old digital early 80's


I really enjoy chamber music - especially on period instruments like Academy of Ancient Music, I Musici, and the English Concert (I have a lot of these on cd and some vinyl)

in the early 80's labels like Phillips, L'oiseau-Lyre, Archiv, and Angel had great recordings but touted their digital nature

is anyone doing chamber type music on vinyl these days in a nice analog format with brilliant recordings?
reissues or new recordings (later than the early 80's digital craze)

also any older recordings worth checking out on other labels?

I'm a sucker for cello, lute, bassoon, etc
enjoy sparse with nice interweaving playing
Bach, Telemann, Vivaldi, Mozart, Haydn, Handel, etc

Go to http://www.acousticsounds.com and do a search for cello on vinyl. There are lots of great high quality reissues by Speakers Corner of RCA Living Stereo, Mercury Living Presence, and DG recordings. Many of these are iconic.

Take special note of the Bach Cello Suites as played by Janos Starker on Mercury Living Presence. It's a 3-record set and every professional review I've read indicates this is a superb re-master/reissue. In a perfect world everyone would have a copy. The $110 is worth every penny, especially considering that the mid-'60s mono ones go for $250-300 and the stereo ones for $750-1500. I have an original mono, but I'm seriously considering getting the Speakers Corner reissue at $110.
