Reply To: Different versions of the same work?
I like cover versions of themes that provide different arrangments that like a jazz or groovy arrangments (I have loads of those). But otherwise I am not really into having several versions of the same work especially regarding classical works. I know it makes a difference which orchestra, conductor, soloist but I am a bot ignorant of that. There is so much that I rather explore other works before listening to dozens versions of the same.
Of course I have re-recordings of film scores where I have the “original” already. Well, exceptions confirm the rule 😉
