Record buffs are mourning the death of Nikolaos Velissiotis, a Greek self-starter who founded the Arkadia label and several others to retrieve rare recordings by Furtwangler and other giants of the past.

He was among the founders 45 years ago of the music magazine Musica – Rivista di cultura musicale e discografica.

    If that means we won’t be treated to more amateurish recordings by the vastly overrated Furtwängler……

    • Chris from Laffyaette says:

      What an intellectually-lazy fool. In all things, case by case. Shouldn’t you be too busy buying Trump stock?

    Rest in peace

    un amico indimenticabile
