The 20th century was a transformative period in the world of classical music and had a significant impact on the way classical music was recorded and distributed on formats like CDs and vinyl records. Here are some key points related to classical music in the 20th century and its connection to CDs and vinyl:

Recording Technology: The 20th century saw remarkable advancements in recording technology. Early in the century, recordings were made using fragile shellac records, which were later replaced by more durable vinyl records. This transition greatly improved the quality and longevity of classical recordings.
Vinyl Records: Vinyl records, commonly referred to as LPs (Long Play) and singles (45 RPM), became the standard format for distributing classical music throughout most of the 20th century. These records allowed for extended playing time and higher sound fidelity compared to earlier formats.
Classical Record Labels: Numerous classical record labels emerged during the 20th century, such as Deutsche Grammophon, RCA Victor, Columbia Masterworks, and EMI Classics. These labels played a crucial role in recording and promoting classical artists and orchestras.
Famous Performers: The 20th century witnessed the rise of many iconic classical performers and conductors, including Leonard Bernstein, Herbert von Karajan, Maria Callas, and Vladimir Horowitz. Their recordings on vinyl became highly sought after by classical music enthusiasts.
Digital Revolution: The latter half of the 20th century saw the introduction of digital recording technology. This led to the creation of CDs (Compact Discs) in the 1980s, which revolutionized the way music, including classical music, was recorded and distributed. CDs offered superior sound quality and durability compared to vinyl records.
Transition to CDs: Classical music was a significant part of the CD market, and many classical recordings were reissued on CD format.The digital medium allowed for clearer and more faithful reproduction of classical compositions.
CD Box Sets: Classical music enthusiasts often purchased CD box sets that compiled complete works of famous composers, entire symphony cycles, or the complete works of particular performers or orchestras.
Collector's Items: Vinyl records from the 20th century, especially those with rare or historic recordings, have become collector's items. Some enthusiasts prefer the warmth and analog character of vinyl, leading to the continued popularity of vinyl in the 21st century.

The 20th century was a dynamic era for classical music, marked by technological advancements that transformed the way music was recorded, distributed, and enjoyed. Vinyl records played a central role for much of the century, while the introduction of CDs in the later years paved the way for further innovations in music recording and accessibility.

Product description

MOVE OVER KING KONG AND GODZILLA!

Professor Wassermann (John Stacy) is asked by industry magnate Morgan Hunnicut (Eddie Faye) to lead an expedition to study the giant Yeti creature found frozen in a large ice block on Newfoundland's coast. The professor does not know that Hunnicut intends to use the prehistoric creature as a trademark of its multinational industrial group. A very big mistake.

Review

Anyone who knows me knows I've long been a fan of the fairly obscure late 70s King Kong-inspired giant monster epic Yeti... Yeti has just about everything you could possibly want in a b-movie. --Foywonder, Dread Central

Product description

Awarded the Camera d’Or for best first feature at

the 1989 Cannes Film Festival, Hungarian trailblazer

Ildikó Enyedi’s My 20th Century is a luminous,

unconventional fairy tale. Two twins, Lili the anarchist and

Dóra, a luxurious woman of loose morals (both played

by the young Polish actress Dorotha Segda), are separated as young girls. Their lives proceed

on opposing tracks until their paths reconnect on the Orient Express with Mr. Z. (Tarkovsky

mainstay Oleg Yankovsky) who loves them jointly. Defiantly in pursuit of happiness and in retreat

from the “mass murdering century,” they are all entranced by Thomas Edison’s inventions and

drunk on the miracle of existence. Among the greatest of cinematic debuts, My 20th

Century introduced the world to Enyedi (On Body and Soul), who remains a vital, distinctive

artist into the 21st century.

Special Features:

-Introduction by director Ildikó Enyedi

-Audio commentary with Enyedi and DP Tibor Mathe (Hungarian with optional English subtitles)

-Booklet essay by curator and writer Dorota Lech

-Interview with Enyedi by filmmaker Peter Strickland (courtesy of Second Run)
