Tchaikovsky/Shostakovich: Violin Concertos - Midori/Abbado | Longjohns and Wifebeaters - Yesterday 03:05 pm

The Rolling Stones: Beggars Banquet | Downunderman - January 10, 2019

Unboxing this 50th Anniversary Edition got me musing whether this treatment of the album is somewhat at odds with the artistic statement that the album was making. Maybe a ...

Nono: Como una ola de fuerza y luz - Barainsky, Michiels, Rundel, Warinsky | Longjohns and Wifebeaters - Yesterday 12:40 pm

The Radio Recordings 1939-1945 - Furtwängler | Ramesh Nair - February 9, 2019

I see one of this site's preferred vendors, Presto classical, has this already in stock through the Berliner Philharmoniker label # BPHR180181. Even better, the booklet isn't ...
