i have hundreds of classical cd's that i collected in the 80's. i love all the music, but i have noticed that compared to the few modern classical recordings i have, these older cd's from the 80's often sound pretty bad: shrill and thin.
can anyone recommend some labels, cd's, etc., that have either re-issued some older recording, or offer new digital recordings with better sound quality than my old collection.
would an upsampler help my old cd's?
some of my favorites include:
beethoven
handel
bach
prokofiev
vivaldi
puccini
wagner
glass
reich
mozart
rossini
tchaikovsky
etc...
i prefer "original instrument" recordings when appropriate to the music and time.
i also have a preference for keyboard music, solo, concerti, piano, fortepiano, harpsichord, organ, etc. (mostly keyboard + orchestra of some kind).
i prefer to see opera live, but recorded excerts and overtures are ok.
some of my favorite performers and conductors are:
alfred brendel
christopher hogwood
ton koopman
karl bohm
furtwangler
m. periah
perlman
karajan
glenn gould
ormandy
etc.
so i'm looking for newer recordings or remasters that are greatly improved over the 1980's cd's i have. if you have links to where to buy them that would be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance.
