CLASSICA D'ORO
We couldn't believe it: at an absurdly low price, a huge collection of classical music on 50 CDs. We listened with a jaundiced ear. Might these be old mono recordings? No, they're all in stereo, and not bad...mostly 10th row centre in a good hall, just the way we like it. Surely the artists would be third rate? No, they are all respectable, and many are excellent. Then the music choice would be biased toward the saccharine? No, it's just about the selection we would have made had we been putting together a package like this. If you have few or no classical recordings and you've been thinking you would like to discover the world of the classics. It will enrich your life! Even if you have a fair collection already, you'll be surprised by what's on this 50 CD set.
GCM-50 $149.95

TEST RECORD 3: DYNAMICS
Perhaps the least known of Opus 3's four samplers, it is full of fine selections, pop and classical, from (often discontinued) Opus 3 albums. The sound is exceptional, as usual. Our remaining copies include a (very good) inner sleeve, but no outer sleeve. But look at the price!
