100 Hits: Classical

~ Release by Various Artists (see all versions of this release, 1 available)

Annotation

I suspect this release contains Alred Sholz budget recordings. As well as a few credited to known but exclusive pseudonyms, some of the others are credited to real artists whose names he sometimes used dishonestly. There are AcoustID matches on some recordings to other recordings with different artist credits. See https://wiki.musicbrainz.org/Budget_recordings_of_Alfred_Scholz
