Some of those Brilliant classics are high quality reissues while others are more variable. This one looks like a potential gem.Quote:

Got to ask why most of the posts on this thread seem to be about charity shop vinyl? There is a vastly bigger repertoire available out there in digital recordings on disc, downloads or streaming. Yes there are some fantastic recordings available on vinyl if you are lucky enough to get a copy free of defects - I've got a lot of it myself - but what's available really is pretty much limited to select "great performers" of the past in a very narrow core repertoire. There is so much more available in classical music. And vinyl is such a hit-or-miss format for classical - mostly miss as surface noise is such a bummer.
Currently listening to:

Christopher Gunning has composed lots of popular film and TV music - but these symphonies are fairly stirring
coming up: Esa Pekka Salonen & Finnish Radio Symphony in the conductor's own compositions

it's a while since I have Christopher Gunning-ed, this is nicely melodic and dramatic
