Re: Need Help Starting a Classical Collection

I am looking for the best recording quality and music.

Well the problem is that there's no agreement about what "the best" means. Can you imagine asking George Bush who's the best Presidential candidate? Then asking the same question of Al Gore?

I'll take the contrarian position and suggest you should go for quantity, not quality, at this stage. We live in an age of incredible bargains in boxed-sets of classical music. You can get the 170 CD set of Mozart on Brilliant Classics for about $115. You can get the 60 CD set of Beethoven on Sony Classics for about $60. Check posts here in this forum. For under $500 you could own decent versions of the bulk of the classical repertoir.
