1. The classical record industry remains in
a funk, if not outright free fall, yet now is actually a great time
to collecting older classical recordings writes David Mermelstein
in the Wall Street Journal. There is an abundance of massive boxed sets
at relatively cheap prices. For example: Horowitz's Carnegie Hall performances
(41 CDs), Heifetz (104), (pianist) Malcuzynski (8) and the most notable,
Decca Sound: The Mono Years 1944-1956' (50). 10Se15 [I have
been pleased with a set of Faure works on Brilliant Classics, also a
set of British Symphonies on NAXOS].
