Is it illegal to download classical music like Beethoven which existed before the 1950s?

Most Classical Music is in the public domain, which means that any copyrights have expired. However, the recordings of classical music are usually copyrighted, if recorded after 1972, which means that use requires royalty payments, in most cases. Sound recordings (in the USA) prior to 1972 have no federal copyright protection.
Edit: Although Gershwin has been dead for some time, some of his music still attracts copyright fees.
