RCA living stereo are an expensive rarity over here in the UK, we tend to go for Deutsche Grammaphon Tulip labels, Lyre Bird (L'Oiseau) or Decca. SXL wide or narrow band recordings, EMI silver labels are an expensive rarity but the HMV red labels are good. BTW HMV is heavy goods vehicles (-:

The Campoli disc is stunning. One of my favorite recordings.

The ARGO catalogue is full of audiophile treasures. One superb example - a little off the beaten track - is the record of Tippett's String Music, including the Double Concerto, with Marriner and ASMF. A real choral music challenge is the Poulenc album by St' John's College, Cambridge under Georg Guest. I see ARGOs at very cheap prices all the time here in US.

I only discovered your site recently and I'm enjoying it very much. My own personal preference is for CDs and I'm having a lot of fun streaming from KZitem but I might start listening to phonograph records again. I have fairly large collections of classical music irecordings in both formats, at least 3000 each.

This was a fascinating commentary and has me digging out all my copies of these. Love all your choices. I gave the Le Cid disc my highest recommendation as a "Record To Die For" I have the original Quad and Stereo, Klavier and Greensleeve.

Your wonderful video inspired me to get the EMI. I played my Greensleeves for my nephew and he grabbed it immediately.

Excellent. I commented on your other review of inexpensive records, but it sounds like Discogs is your go to source. Where do you live, I am in LA. Honestly, I am aging and no longer in the purchasing gig. I have 3 of the selections and many of the ASMF Argos. My Schwarzkopf is on CD but I have the Mahler Wunderhorn LP of Schwarzkopf and Fischer Dieskau, LSO/Szell. Thank you.

About 25 years ago I paid £4 (equivalent £7 today) for a copy of Decca SXL 6975 - Saint-Saens orchestral pieces including Danse Macabre and Phaeton, with the Philharmonia Orchestra and Charles Dutoit. This was a 1981 release, analogue, and recorded in the Kingsway Hall. The sound is spectacular, which may account for this LP now fetching £100 to £150 on eBay but maybe not for the ridiculous amounts being asked for on Discogs.

Big fan of Argo recordings, but I don't have either mentioned. The Rossini on my wishlist.

Early RCA recordings involving piano often that weird, 'giant piano' sound where the piano's image is as wide as that of the orchestra which sure sounds strange. The 2-track recordings in particular suffer from this weirdness; it's kind of hard to ignore. I have an original pressing of the Schwarzkopf "Lieder"...ten cents at my local thrift store! Wonderful performance.

I had to laugh, as soon as I started watching this video, I was just putting away the Borodin Symphony #2, Living Stereo LSC-2298 that I scored yesterday at a local shop! 🙂 It’s a beautiful copy, and you’re right, amazing record all around!

New, now regular subscriber to your great videos. Always great info across various genres. Quick Q: have you or peer group listened to the Original Recordings Group of Borodin Symph, no 2 & 3 at 45RPM? Worth the $60? Own the AP No.2 version.

Thank you, David. Great question. I’m in love with ORG and have spent far too much money tracking down sealed copie$ over the past three months! Espana is on the way and I’m mulling the de Falla. Of course, I have perfectly good Speakers Corner versions lol The problem with the ORG Borodin is the orchestra. While Ansermet had them playing very well (superbly well on the de Falla), they simply can’t compete with the LSO. The Martinon/LSO/Kingsway is a cracker.
