I still have about 200 or more LPs, some with beautiful covers! Maybe when I get back I will take a few photos to share. Last week, I put up a few on the walls of my music room--tea room--counseling room--study--studio, and it truly added some class to the place!

The very first recording of Beethoven's Piano Sonatas I own, though I now have 6 complete Beethoven Piano Sonatas, which is still no match for our Richtervangelist ...

Please do. LP artworks are generally so much better than CD artworks ...

My understanding is this set is one of the most highly regarded Dvorak Symphonies. I have not played this set in at least ten years ...

Absolutely. I don't even know where to start even if I have the time. When I digitized 2 open-reel tapes last year, it took me a good part of a day. I have never digitized an LP, which is no doubt more complicated if I want to filter out those pops and clicks. A fact of life even for my pristine LP collection as most were played only once ...

Coopmv · April 04, 2009, 05:42:52 AM

This is likely to be the first LP I would digitize. I have always liked piano music and have been buying quite a lot of piano works lately ...

Here is a great recording by Horowitz and Reiner. Unfortunately, it is somewhat beat up due to the less than optimum handling by the less expensive TT I had in the early days of my adventure in classcal music. The CD re-issue may also be OOP. A bummer ...
