In Reply to: A high quality and reasonably priced primer to the classics? Or is it a bad deal? posted by Ray-o-Stat on April 1, 2007 at 14:32:33:
I mostly listen to symphonic music and have access to a free set of these TL anthologies but I haven't yet brought it home. For me, even working through a couple of dozen LPs at a time seems like more work than I prefer. But if you are focused in your quest, as stated below there would be worse ways to get into it. And if the LPs are in good shape I think the price is quite good when you consider the amount of time it would take to gather performances of these individually.Whether you go this way or another, it might be worthwhile to consider what it is about the music you most listen to that you like the most. If for instance you love bebop, and especially listening to musicians improvise over the song form, as an entre you might really love the 18th century symphonists (Mozart, Haydn, Beethoven mostly) or their chamber music, where form is almost always transparent. If you like folk music and lightly-scored pop music you might be drawn to 19th century composers like Dvorak or Sibelius and a few 20th century composers like Copland whose music is often based on folk tunes. And so forth...there are musical strings that tie styles together for the listener, IMHO. So I thought I'd babble for a moment.
Let us know what you decide!
