Don't give up on digitized analog recordings. If from an excellent
master, you will hardly know the difference from one completely digital.
One example I know of is the Delos Tchaikovsky 5th, Eugene Ormandy
and the Philly Orch. This sounds super despite being an analog
original. I understand the Delos  (ditto) 6th is equally good but I
haven't heard it yet.
I do not find, as some do, that you cannot go wrong with Telarc.
Some of their stuff is pretty poor, even if technically its supposed
to be ok. On the other hand, don't get me wrong, <most> of the
Telarcs sound pretty darn good. Perhaps my favorite is Telarc'c Le
Sacre (Stravinsky), so far this is the most outstanding CD in my
collection. Good luck, let the net know what you find best. Its
hell not having reliable reviews of CD's, and, the last few months,
I haven't seen many reviews of CDs at all. Something happened in the
industry and I don't know what. It may have been the publicity given
(by High Fidelity) to the horrible abortions put out by some mfrs.
It may have been the disc mfrs telling the mags to take another
look at their bread to see which side it was buttered on. In any event
reviews seem to have dried up and I find the ones left not very
helpful. hound!rfg
