| Top 5 Classical recordings This must be a case of high quality performance outweighing technical limitations. I have many 1960s performances, but have never ventured into the 40s or 50s. | |
| Top 5 Classical recordings message to Almarg...the Toscanini/Brahms Sym.1 is fantastic. Thank you for the link. I'm listening thru my PC wondering how this mpg download would sound on a good system. This turned out to be a great thread. I'm going to further explore some of... | |
