need new classical vinyl/LP

Presto Classical is one who has a decent collection. UK based, so shipping isn’t the least expensive you can find, depending where you are.

Ha, Brian. I was just about to tag you on this!

😁👍🏼

Analogue Productions bought the Classic Recordings label catalog, originally available on LP in the 1990's and early-mid 2000's. That catalog includes a huge number of the legendary "golden age" RCA recordings, pressed on superior vinyl by AP at their state-of-the-art facility in Salina, Kansas. Available through AP's Acoustic Sounds mail order branch for around $35 per LP.

German company Speakers Corner is pressing new LP's made from original master tapes of many excellent Columbia Records' 1950's-60's recordings, featuring world class conductors, orchestras, and individual musicians. I have a handful, including the astounding recording of Janos Starker performing J.S. Bach's Suites For Unaccompanied Cello. It is a 4-LP boxset, retailing for just under $100. Analogue Productions offers the same recording, but pressed on 8-LP's (the AP discs play at 45RPM, the SP at 33-1/3), and priced at just under $200. Though 45RPM is reputed to sound a hair better than 33-1/3, I don't like the music chopped up into such small bites ;-) . SP's single LP's retail the same as do AP's, around $35. 

If you can find them, the LP's offered by Harmonia Mundi (both U.S.A. and French branches) are fantastic. I bought them at the time of their original 1990's-2000's releases, and can't tell you where to look for them now. HM's catalog veered toward Early and Baroque periods (though not exclusively), and their artist roster included the cream of "period" performance practitioners. My favorite modern Classical label.
 

Just go to Acoustic Sounds and buy a bunch of Nonsuch NM used for $10 a pop!

Yeah, I'm with noromance, just buy good quality used. No matter what you play new or used you clean the stylus after each side so the gunked up thing is non issue issue. Many new pressings, even many audiophile reissues, pale in comparison to the older original copies that are out there, many of them for less money. By the time you have bought a dozen you have saved enough to buy the Walker Enzyme 4 Step cleaning supplies, which you want anyway, even new records sound better after cleaning. 

If after a Ledermann refurb you are "not able to perceive what others extol" then I have to wonder, what are you using for a phono stage?

^^^ +1 for noromace.

 My kind of guy. :-)

Thanks all for the excellent suggestions. I shall explore them and make a selection.

I haven't looked at new classical vinyl since before Covid. Looks like slim pickings out there!

- Stravinsky Conducts Rite of Spring, Columbia Symphony, Columbia records, 1960
- Bernstein/NY Phil, Bartok Concerto for Two Pianos and Percussion, Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta, Columbia Records
