I have many Wagner recordings, but am a bit light on the great mono historical recordings.
Which are the ones I need to get? Your favorites?
thanks

I think that it's awful, but others disagree.Oh, I also have the Jochum recording, but I've heard it's awful.
i can't imagine anyone who has a substantial digital library who would be crazy enough not to back up their music libraries on multiple drives.a download will be lost when the drive on which it's loaded dies (1-5 years).
In that case, are they worth buying? Do we know what bitrate they have on them? I've not purchased anything from Pristine yet, but I'd love to get the Leinsdorf Tannhäuser. I'm wondering if I should just stick with either the 24-bit or 16-bit FLAC. Maybe the 24-bit is overkill considering the age of these recordings. Any thoughts on this?I've ordered CD's from Pristine and I'm pretty sure they are just CD-R's with a label stuck to them.
this is not accurate. one digital copy is identical to another digital copy, it's literally numerical code that is the same between two things (i.e. "a copy").As for FLAC vs MP3, I learned that FLAC enables you to keep making copies without losing data over time while MP3 copies will degenerate with each copy.
And I'm sure your manager was thinking, "who needs to hear 70-year-old Wagner live bootlegs in 24 bit"?Thank you- I stand corrected. I have tried my best to understand all these formats and it is not always easy. I thank you for the clarification.
My manager at work was telling me a few years ago that Neil Young was trying to develop a 24bit technology CD and player for better sound quality. In my mind I was thinking, " Who needs to hear Neil Young in 24 bit?" I guess to each there own!
