The Sound of Deutsche Grammophon Classical Records: The Good & the Bad

Today we are discussing Deutsche Grammophon, arguably the most famous classical record label in the world. We’re mainly going to talk about what pressing to seek out in terms of sound quality, price, and condition. This is my journey with DG records, so I would love to hear in the comments what other aspects of DG you like and don’t like!

Overall, this is a great website that talks about OG pressings vs. reissues, Deccas, Living Stereos, EMI, Columbia, DG, etc. Its a great way to get familiar with so many classical pressings and labels out there! Would highly recommend everyone check it out!
