Classical music tends to be focused on particular pieces that are done by a variety of performers over the decades. In other words, one is more interested in looking for instances of performances of, say Beethoven's 5th with the symphony orchestra being secondary, as opposed to finding all of records by, say The Jam. -- normally one doesn't try to find every recording every done of The Eton Rifles. In fact in the pop world, we don't normally try to say, give me everything composed by Lennon and McCartney, but in the classical world we look for everything composed by Mozart. While certain performances by particular symphony orchestras may be singularly stellar, for the most part your average punter who wants to hear the Warsaw Concerto doesn't care if its the Berlin Philharmonic or the Milwaukee Wisconsin Symphony Orchestra. Just my thoughts Amy
