| How to go about collecting Classical Music Larry, I’m glad to hear you like the Brilliant label Mozart box set. The bidding on the 200 CD Deutsche Grammophon Mozart set went well over the $600 mark today and I really couldn’t justify bidding more on an artist I am honestly unfamiliar with ... | |
