Herve Blandin asks concerning inexpensive labels offering concert performances: >Anyhow, how do you feel about collecting such labels as far as music >and concerts represented, has it been worth it? I think it's easily worth it. The Aura label has been particularly rewarding for me - Arrau, Haskil, Gilels, Anda, Michelangeli, etc., and the sound has been no problem at all to my ears. I believe that Aura releases cost about the same as a Naxos disc, so the expenditures are small. BBC recordings can also be very rewarding, but their cost is generally at the premium level. Aura is a collector's delight, and readers should investigate the releases. I don't think you'll be disappointed. Don Satz [log in to unmask]
