Please post links to intersting Classical Music blogs and personal webpages!

My first contribution - mainly of interest for those who read French...

A very highly sophisticated blog, covering all aspects of art, but music in particular - with main focus on Early Music & Baroque. It includes reviews of recordings and samples.

Many interesting links already posted - many thanks!

Here's another Baroque "Jungle" run by an Italian (but you can navigate in English) - fascinating and totally absorbing.
Don't get lost!

Blognoggle is a very good aggregator tracking about 100 classical music blogs, here.  Chris Foley maintains another aggregator that displays them slightly differently, here.

Hello,

I am sorry if it is in the wrong section but I thought it is the good one... I started recently a blog (non profit one so I am not advertising to make money) about 18th century music blog (well, actually more between 1650-1830, but 18th century remains my principal interest). I propose some music samples from good recordings. I invite you to check out.

Thanks

Handel.

Here is my blog about my favorite recording company, Telarc.  They record mostly Classical and Jazz.

Jusr a plug for my own blog, Liberated Dissonance, though given the compeition listed above, it's getting harder to see the point. 

Blog includes links to my music previews and non-musical, weekly newspaper column.

Bruce, I sent an e-mail to blognoggle, asking to be listed on their classical music page, but I never heard back. How do you get their attention?
