in my day, when vinyl was still king, top of the line in the classical world were Angel records and Deutsche Gramophone. Probably still are among classical vinyl enthusiasts. Some imports, especially from the USSR were pretty hot, too. Can't say much about the 78s. If you have some Fonotipia discs in there, those are something relatively special. Classical people are really finicky. Condition needs to be really good unless it's super rare. If you find any cylinders with the name Bettini on them, put them in the lock box and call a top-of-the-line auction house. Rare opera singers can be as sought after as obscure blues artists. You won't find them on Victor Red Seals. Some of those were actuallyh hit records in their day.
