This is the place to go to find a classical music recording. It appears to be a typical Tower Record store when you first walk in--noisy and crowded, but follow the signs to the classical "section" and you will be rewarded with a "store within a store". The Classical section is its own world--a light filled room, sonically sealed from the rest of the store with classical music playing and more cds for sale than anywhere else in town. The music is logically arranged and easy to find. the staff is knowledgeable and service oriented. There's even an entire row of Naxos recordings so if you are looking for a cheap copy of something...that's also easy to find. I had read that this was the place to go, but when I finally went I was truly amazed at how wonderful this store is. It is a little bit of a trek for those of us who live in or near DC but well worth it the trip down Wisconsin.
