Also, when I said Gulda's Beethoven, I mean this more modern set on Amadeo, not his older one on Orfeo.

>Thank you, choice paralysis is a major issue for me when it comes to classical music.

I know exactly what you mean, anon, and it's what put me off from classical for a long time, the daunting surfeit of recordings, the impossible question of "well which one do I listen to?"

And all I can really say to that is it's like a pool: you just gonna dive in. You learn by doing, or in this case listening. Over time you'll begin to pick up and recognize names, associate them with certain interpretive styles, and come to notice what you like, and then discover how to best find the recordings which suit your needs. Just know it's not a one-and-done thing. You don't listen to one cycle/set of Beethoven's piano sonatas and go "welp, check that off my list, what's next?" it's more "neat, loved that -- now I wonder how these other greats and hyped newcomers are doing it" y'know?

Here are some good starter youtube channels which really helped me out when I first seriously got into classical,

https://www.youtube.com/@incontrariomotu (focus on older recordings, generally Russian musicians)
https://www.youtube.com/@cgoroo (focus on classic recordings)
https://www.youtube.com/@olla-vogala4090
https://www.youtube.com/@AshishXiangyiKumar (almost entirely solo piano music)

basically I would to these channels (mostly the first one), and search, say, "mozart" or "elgar" or "violin sonata" or "string quartet" and just listen to whatever they had because they each are pretty well curated with great recordings, aka whatever they have uploaded, you know will be a good performance. Anyway, best of luck, enjoy, and feel free to ask whatever questions here :)
