Beethoven's Piano Sonatas

Haven't heard of Lydia before now.  Where were they based out of?

Vox had some lovely recordings.

Sorry, it has been too long.  Do you remember laserlight?  They had some great recordings too!

Nor have I. They probably released very little classical music - if anything at all.

They were everyone, in every music store I went to.  $3 cds.  Oh wait it was Lydian not Lydia.  Here is one of the recordings I had:

Lydian? That's another matter. I recall them very well and I have kept a number of them, among which some excellent Beethoven piano sonatas (to stay on topic ).   It was Naxos' super budget label.

Yes, Lydian is affiliated with Naxos...some of the recordings resurfaced later on the next super-budget Naxos label, "Amadis." And many of the artists (like Wildner and Michael Halasz) reappeared on dozens of Naxos albums.

I am going through now to clear out some of the off-topic comments; I hope it is understood that this is just to keep things on track.
