Reply To: Let’s talk collections and listening habits!
I’ve never been that hung up on various performances of a piece. I’m more about the composition itself. Even if I’m well aware of the fact that the different interpretations are worthwhile artistic accomplishments in and of themselves. In classical music, when there are so many different versions of a single piece, I’m more about having ONE version I’m pleased with (of course, I DO own some classical works in different recordings….you can’t really be a music lover and not). So if – at some point – I got a box with the complete composition works of a composer, and I thought they were well-performed, I would close that door for good, for as long as I live, probably.
