I email ya already.

but in general, I don’t listen to too many classical albums. Compared to pop/rock. I usually only dig for more well known small work and probably found new gems randomly that way. All the best albums are known and have been talked to death.

Another thing, sometimes I think I like the freakish technicians and quirky modernists more than the more standard performances. So I am not so sure if what I post can be considered “popular” or more mainstream. Plus I like the flowing playlist MdM with mix of several styles … etc.

I suppose there are more interesting ways of exploring classical

the interweb FLAC… :D (I’ll email you) For classical pieces. You have to read review and listen first. There is no way you are going to find anything good just by randomly browsing store. (unless you have favorite artists and know exactly what their style is)

the tabula rasa is 18 minutes long. (38MB). anybody wants to listen to it has to get the CD. I tried the mp3. It’s not listenable at any bit rate.

Get the Aimard CD. he is incredible.

These are all amazing, thank you sq.

Where do you get such fine sounding recordings? I have no idea on where to look for good stuff in the classical canon, record stores in my city are very modest in their catalog and on the interwebs I always end up with something rather flat and generic.
