EMI released a whole series of Unforgettable Classics compilations back in the mid 1990's Alex and they are all worth a listen. The production values are excellent too as expected of EMI

I'm afesteringvinylphile.
I passed up a good handful of excellent condition pressings yesterday for less than 2 pounds a piece. Then, I had amoment and went back for them today. Luckily, they were all still there. Many are monaural early pressings or radio station copies. I really need to find a great mono cart. Here are the three I've gone through tonight.
Lyrics are the ramblings of man, sometimes inspired by The Creator, most often, not.
But music (melodies, harmonies, rhythms), that's God stuff.
Always was. Always will be.
One of the biggest lies ever told was that only certain kinds of people should listen to certain kinds of music.

Very very rare for this to happen!

Biff - I must admit I'd love to hear that Bruno Walter Schubert 7 (well, actually more commonly known as the 9th I am sure!).

Albeniz - Suite Espanola, Fruhbeck de Burgos, New Philharmonia, Decca [xrcd24]
This Kingsway Hall performance and recording from 1967 is simply stupendous and the XRCD's quality utterly superb. This is Fruhbeck de Burgos' own orchestration of the work more well known for guitar (but originally for piano). Fantastic orchestral crescendi and very thrilling to listen to. Worth the price and then some for importing it from Amazon.com.
