COLLECTING CLASSICAL - Which format? Vinyl vs. CD/SACD vs. Streaming vs. Downloads
Whether you are just getting started building a classical music collection, or a seasoned collector, there are many ways in which to enjoy the music. Even if you are primarily devoted to vinyl you should consider supplementing your listening and collecting with other formats because otherwise you are going to miss out on a ton of great recordings. The Classical Recording industry is thriving at the moment, largely through the efforts of small independent labels. In this video I break down the options available.
Resources mentioned in video:
David Hurwitz's YouTube channel:
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSf-Xx-OHoEE-QVmOAhHqVg/featured
Website: Classics Today (apologies for misremembering the title in my video)
https://www.classicstoday.com
Mr. Hurwitz is a fountain of knowledge on recorded classical music, and his videos will keep you informed and entertained in equal measure. He is a good alternative, indeed corrective, to "establishment" sources like the Gramophone and Fanfare magazines.
Recommended independent classical music labels include:
Hyperion
https://www.hyperion-records.co.uk
Chandos
https://www.chandos.net
Bis
https://bis.se
Harmonia Mundi

Alpha Classics

Dutton

Pentatone Music
http://www.pentatonemusic.com
For historical recordings, I highly recommend Pristine Classical. Their remastering is leagues ahead of the competition.

An excellent resource not only for purchasing classical CDs and downloads but also for reviews is Presto Music in UK. Even factoring in the cost of international shipping they have competitive prices and excellent sales and service.
