Are classical records worth anything?

Classical is tough. A lot of classical records are kind of worthless in the resale market, and many of them have ended up in thrift store value bins year after year. That is one reason classical collections can be harder to sort through than rock, jazz, or soul collections.

At the same time, audiophiles and collectors have always revered certain labels for their sound. So while many classical LPs may not be worth much, some titles can still be worth closer attention depending on label, performer, instrument, and overall presentation.

What are some good classical LPs?

One place to start is with the instruments collectors often pay attention to most. Violin and cello recordings have long attracted collectors, and the beautiful sound of those instruments has always had a strong audience in the classical market.

Performers such as Szeryng and Starker are examples of names that have been collectible in that space.

Why is classical harder than other genres? Because many classical records are very common and have little demand, while only certain labels, performers, and recordings stand out.
What instruments often get attention? Violin and cello recordings are often more highly collected than many other classical titles.
