So I like to do thorough research when playing a piece and listen to as many different recordings of the piece as possible. This being said, I keep finding it a challenge to find multiple recordings of pieces. Is there some kind of source where I can look up the piece and there is a list of the recordings available?

I know, it's sad. Give me a good LP over digitally-compressed/sacrificed audio any day. ......Even with a few pops and cracks here and there.

I use youtube and Naxos, but you have to have a subscription for Naxos... My brother gets it free from his college, so he shares =D

It's not a resource as such, but *That Site* will often have many recordings, often out of print, or cut-outs, that cannot be easily found otherwise.

The most important reason why the LPs are so good, is the players who recorded on them. Certainly much better than the charlatans of the digital computer age.

In part;
but listen to same recording on an L.P. (with good equipment) and a C.D. There is a noticeable difference. When C.D.'s became popular there had to be an industry standard for the way the audio was "compressed" so a disc could be universally used on any machine. There have been advancements in recent years, but sacrifices must still be made.

The opposite problem with an L.P. is that they lose some "crispness" over time due to the wear of the needle; or they can warp. -But try a side-by-side comparison sometime.

worldcat.org can be helpful. It is a massive catalog of many libraries. You can not listen on line.
Many libraries have subscriptions to naxos you can use if you are on their network, also I do not think a subscription is very expensive.
