First, let me say that I like vinyl for the sound. In fact, in the classical and jazz genres I absolutely prefer my lps. But another important reason is that lps afford me a chance to hear conductors and performances that otherwise are unavailable to me. Igor Markevitch is perhaps my favorite interpreter of Tchaikovsky and his performances on Philips are excellent recordings. Ernst Ansermet with ballet music is another example. Lennie Bernstein, the Bayern Beethoven concerts... I can go on. The lps take me back in time to listen to wonderful music from orchestras where most of the members aren't around anymore. And individual performers such as Paul Badura-Skoda, Edith Farnadi, Erica Morini... my favorite Dvorak "New World" is on Westminster with Rodzinski conducting, and the body of work by Alan Hovhaness most on his personal label... So in addition to the music and the sound, records send me back 50 years to listen and appreciate. Sorry for the long post but I could go on and on.
