[Magdalen] I need some new music

[James Oppenheimer-Crawford]

A real surprise is the Water Music with William Steinberg and the
Pittsburgh Symphony.  I say surprise because it's obviously not a new
release (Steinberg died in 1978), but it's a fairly authentic job. There
are tons of old releases on vinyl rereleased on CD that are actually quite
respectable.

I find archiv has all kinds of wonderful stuff that, being not new release,
can be had for a song, you should pardon the expression, and yet are just
as good as the stuff being cranked out today. Sound quality is also
excellent.
You can filter releases from an earlier day and they also sound excellent.
Now if you were to take them into your million-dollar studio and put on one
and then the other, yeah, you would probably hear differences, but who does
that anymore? I have a great sound system I never use anymore. I play stuff
on my desktop and in my Prius (with a six disk CD changer, I'm a happy
camper)

Full disclosure: It's actually my wife's Prius; my car is the much sturdier
2001 Accord. Its CD player only does one at a time. But then we do all long
hauls in the toy, er, Prius.
