Gramophone top 100
Mika T Naumanen
Hello,
Gramophone has published a booklet of the 100 best classical music recordings
of all time. However, the publication has been sold out. Does anyone have a
list of the selected recordings?
Thanks,
mika

I have checked and have a copy of this book. If nobody has replied to
you I will happily transcribe the list and either e-mail you or post

I would like to see this posted to the group. I was unsuccessful in
tracking the book down, and the Gramophone Guide only makes a note of
their "Classical 100" recordings as they come up in the course of the
book. I once tried checking off as many as I could with a pencil but got
nowhere near 100 (what I did get was a headache).

When I tried to extract the list from my Gramophone guide a few weeks
ago, I kept the results in a file, which I attach below. I didn't
include singers' names and serial numbers, but to do so would have given
me an even larger headache than the one I ended up with.
The only problem is that the list isn't complete. I found 90 "Classical
100" recordings, so the last 10 remain to be found. But with most of the
work already done, someone who actually has the book can supply the 10
remaining entries with ease.
yr humble scribe,
Paul K.
p.s. there's bound to be some mistakes below; corrections are, of course,
welcome.
