I can't see why people want to keep buying new versions of the standard pieces. How many Beethoven, Mahler and Tchaikovsky cycles do we need? I mainly buy recordings of obscure works. I just got Malipiero Sinfonia degli eroi / Dai sepolcri / Ditirambo tragico. Never recorded works.

We can never have enough versions. Different interpretations for different folks.

Interpretations are a lot more similar now than in the old days I think. I'm just not that interested in any new Beethoven cycles. How much different can one be than the 100 other versions? There must be literally 100 Beethoven cycles in the stereo era.
