The recent LSO Beethoven series with Haitink is quite fine but my LSO favorites do not include Beethoven, Mozart and certainly not Bach.

Ah. I missed the word vinyl but, as others have pointed out, there is no new classical vinyl nor has there been for many years.

There are, however, many new and excellent recordings on multichannel SACDs and those are what I referred to in my other post.

"Hi, If you like ELO, ELP and Jethro Tull, you should check out Vivaldi- The Four Seasons as it has an almost rock like nature. "

If you say so. I don't hear it.

Thanks, Rushton, but the LP lines you mention are too limited and trivial to be relevant, especially since they (with the exception of Classic) are also releasing those on SACD. None of the LPs are multichannel. ;-)

I get your point, Rushton, and, technically, there are some. IMHO, they are inconsequential. (I don't think much of the Polish CPO's Beethoven and would rather listen to any one of more than a dozen others I have on LP, CD or SACD.)
