Your post made me think of this Horowitz album I have playing Mozart piano concerto 23 and sonata 13. its like from 1986 or 1987. Wonderful music.
For coffee lately I've been on an Adrian Belew kick for some reason. Stuff he did with King Crimson and Talking Heads. As loud as possible depending on whose in the house.

Years ago I came into a sizable collection of original RCA Victor "shaded dog" vinyl pressings for dirt cheap. The vinyl on all them was near mint and the jackets in most cases were pristine. A few showed some slight signs of shelf wear.
Today I pulled out this brilliant 1959 Rossini Overtures recording by Fritz Reiner and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. It took my breath away.
If you enjoy historical classical music recordings then I highly recommend that you check them out. Most recordings are in FLAC format in 24bit/96KHz and a growing number of them are in 24bit/192KHz. I convert the files to WAV and then use discWelder software to author a DVD-Audio disc and then put a copy on my music server.

Last night I brought this up on my TV and stereo using my blue ray blayer. It was good. Joey Di Franchesco (SP?) was also on it. The trail u-tube provides led me to, another B3 player, Billy Preston playing Summertime from Porgy and Bess:
