Darren69 Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 (edited) Dear all, the partner enjoys a few classical pieces of music, and is enjoying my new speaker set up etc and I would like to procure some good classical recordings. Any mobs I should look at for good quality recordings? This my partners helpful advice, haha. I like Bach Concerto No 5, Pachelbel’s Cannon in D, Vivaldi Four Seasons, and I can’t remember the Mozart and Handel one’s off the top of my head Thank you.

Darren69 Posted November 20, 2017 Author Share Posted November 20, 2017 God damn, I though I would have been descended on by a horde of classical audiophile beige jacket wearing cat owners who still live with their Mum, pouring out suggestions. Or winery owners. Bugger. Will have to do my own work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Spyne~ Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Do you just have a standard CD player or can you play SACDs too? What about high resolution digital files - ie. 24-bit FLAC or DSD? Do you have a record player? (there would be a horde of SNAers able to recommend 'good' sounding classical vinyl) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll post a few of my favs when I get home for you Daz !! Edited November 20, 2017 by Martykt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joz Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Op shops, other than Kahmal and Dennis Walter records they usually have a proliferation of classical albums. For about a buk each you can test the waters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Brother Joz. Might grab some Kamahl whilst I am there. Edited November 20, 2017 by Darren69 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poor Mr Gimlet, I was speaking to him and yet it's fuzzy for me now. I blame the early Pullman bar attendance prior to going to the Bavarian Beer café (though it did cause me to visit and experience one of those snazzy automated Melbourne toilets on the way...was grateful to not have to touch anything) Edited November 21, 2017 by Darren69 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Telemann is worth considering as well given her apparent taste. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
