I've just discovered the joys of listening to classical music. I picked up a few supposed "definitive versions" based on recommendations of a friend.
Anyway, I was wondering if there was a good review site or message board where I could get more information on which are the best versions of different recordings of classical works. I'm starting with the basics at this point and will gradually work to more obscure works.
So far I have:
Beethoven Symphony No. 9/Karajan 1962/Berlin Philharmonic/D. Grammophon
Vivaldi The Four Seasons/Marriner/Academy St. Martin-In-The-Fields/Decca
I thought I would try a few of the more accessible works and see if I wanted to delve further into this, and needless to say I'm hooked.
If anyone has any recommendations for some more "newbie" titles, please feel free to chime in!
