A word about choosing a particular website:
Acoustic Sounds is a great site for audiophile recordings. For
classical music ArkivMusic is our first choice—since as they
specialize only in classical music their site is very easy to find a
particular recording on and they seem to be able to fill orders more
completely more often than other websites. And Amazon many times
has reviews that can be quite helpful if you'd like to learn more
about a particular recording.
