Audio: Pristine Classical remasters vintage music

Pristine Classical, a company that remasters vintage classical, jazz and blues recordings, is the biggest historical music download site on the net. The website streams substantial full-quality audio previews of its hundreds of titles (at the moment, for example, I'm listening to a remarkably clean remastering of a 1930 recording of Tchaikovsky's 5th, with Leo Blech conducting the Berlin State Orchestra). You can choose between high quality MP3 files -- mp3 technology is much improved -- or lossless FLAC files to get CD-quality downloads, then click on artwork to download and print out CD covers. You can also order custom-made CDs priority air mail, if you can stand the wait. Pristine Audio Direct Access is a paid streamed audio service that provides hundreds of additional historic recordings that can be streamed and/or downloaded by subscribers. Pristine Classical.
