String Quartets On the Web?
rueger writes "Lots of people love iTunes. I'm partial to emusic.com. Ubuntu comes pre-equipped for Jamendo and Magnatune. These are great for those of us hunting popular music — but where do lovers of classical music go to find new artists and albums, download music, and generally keep informed, up to date, and satisfied? As my girlfriend put it, 'I used to go to the big classical record stores downtown, but they're gone.' Where do people go to find the newest Ligeti String Quartet recording?"
We can help, but I suspect your thesis will end up three parts troll and flamebait to one part insightful!
> It *does* seem to have both Glenn Gould recordings of Goldberg,
I'm not a big Glenn Gould fan. Does it have Feltsman's performance of the same piece? What about BWV 1079 and 1080, does it have Feltsman on those? Hector Olivera? What about the Munchinger string ensemble adaptation of both pieces? For that matter, do they have a string ensemble adaptation of the Goldberg variations? What Susanne Lautenbacher recordings do they have of Bach pieces?
Meh. I'll just buy the CDs and rip them. The quality is better that way anyhow.
Cut that out, or I will ship you to Norilsk in a box.
Ah yes, I can see the conversations with our son now.
"Daddy, why aren't you and Mommy married?"
"Well, you see son, every 6-8 months I listen to classical music for a few weeks and Mommy doesn't like it very much." ;-)
This is my sig. There are many like it but this one is mine.
