Answer 3

"Best piano classics 100" by EMI. EMI is a reputable company and its list of artists are simply the best in our generation.



"Best classics 100" by EMI again. It is very good, in my opinion.



You can buy compilation CDs from Gramophone, Decca or EMI or sony. These are the giants companies in the classical world.

Answer 4

Look for the Essential Series on Decca, they have one for each major composer and give a flavor of each, so that you can use them as a starting point.

e.g. Essential Beethoven, Essential Bach or Essential Rachmaninov (etc. etc.)

They are great value.
