Interesting comment. What makes a 'better label'....???

As far as classical labels are concerned, it means
a company with conductors and orchestras that have a
high reputation internationally.

Regretfully, the Maidenhead Symphonia is not on this list:-)


I have no problems with the Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra's
performance of *all* the Mahler symphonies I have on Naxos.



Interestingly, if you compare a classical recording on a cheap
and a full price label, you will sometimes wonder if you are
listening to the same piece of music.


Sure, but that doesn't mean the most expensive version (of the hundreds
available) of any particular *good seller* bit of 'thrasher' classical music
is necessarily the best...
