Aman, You don't have to resort to spending a great deal of money to buy
classical recordings. You can buy just about any piece that you want
these days on a competent, if not excellent budget priced cd. Surf Naxos'
web site, or invest in cds from Brilliant classics, or some of the lower
priced reissues from the majors. You can find absolutely any style period
on Naxos alone for a maximum of $8 per cd, and in most places, cheaper.
