GMG is my home base and Thomas Ligotti Online (http://www.ligotti.net) is becoming my second home lately - a site devoted to horror writer extraordinaire Thomas Ligotti, whom I am in the process of discovering. I have met some interesting people there, too.

Still the best.

How so?

Rod Corkins Classical Music Mayhem.  
First forum I ever joined was Radio Three last November 07 (somewhat limited in interactive content), then to Rod Corkins CMM where I found a real home.  Joined here in March but didn't post much at all, unable to settle, then followed someone who had become a good, respectful friend back into here again and now I have settled very much, the interactivity and discussions are superb, even if there is a rotten apple or two in a barrel full of ripened souls.
It is unlikely I will join others as this and the other fill an enormous amount of creative time which should be reserved for writing for commercial reasons!

Oops... You're right. I forgot! But they update the site with slow regularity. If there was a Forum there, things might be different. But still a must-visit for every Brianite, of course, once a month!

Morning!

There's only two websites I have up and running all the time.

DMusic.com - http://www.dmusic.com/
     The oldest independent digital music community on the web! Apparently... I've been there 4 and a half years. Soon into my 1st year I became an administrator due to bouts of activity and general helpfulness  0:) The forums get rambunctious from time to time. You're damned if you do and damned if you don't on a regular basis!  The wisdom of Solomon is often called upon. I occasionally Shoutcast songs from the website and am doing so as I type. The link to my page there is:
     http://rhthesinner.dmusic.net/

last.fm - I have 2 accounts there. Subotnick is where I listen to classical, jazz, avantgarde and world music - http://www.last.fm/user/Subotnick/
            fergusmcphail is where I listen to everything else - http://www.last.fm/user/fergusmcphail/
Like Corey, I find the group forums pretty redundant. I like my lists and it is a great way of discovering music. For example, Douglas Lilburn was mentioned here and I thought he was interesting. I checked at last.fm to see what they had on him and found his orchestral works and 3 symphonies available to stream! 

I love Australian music, art, literature and films. I can often be found browsing various sites for info and products. Some I visit often are as follows:

http://www.abc.net.au/triplej/ - Australia's best youth orientated radio station
http://www.ozmusic-central.com.au/ozlinks/index.html - Australia's #1 music link resource
http://www.nova100.com.au/site/home.aspx - Melbourne radio playing new hits first and never more than two ads in a row! 
http://www.aboriginalartonline.com/index.php - Aboriginal art is a beauty to behold!



TTFN.
Me.

I used to visit Metal-Archives forums but got bored once I realised how excessively pretentious hardcore fans of all types of music are - at least classical listeners generally have the intellect to back that up - with other genres it's like watching cripples fight. I do a brief scan of new threads once every month or so.

Hi kraehe, I go to MA daily, still, but post relatively little. The Symposium was a good idea but I really can't be bothered with it. Not that I post much here either.

Yeah, it seems as if those kinds of sites are almost invariably run by one person alone, and they update once every blue moon. Erkki-Sven Tüür's site hasn't been updated since 2005 —imagine how much he's written since then!

P.S. I do intend to hear Brian, but it looks like most of his music is out of print or never recorded. Well, the Naxos recording of the Gothic seems like a good place to start.

Thanks! I'm late for work, so I can't listen now. I'll give it my undivided attention as soon as I get home.

[rubio]

I certainly like this forum the most! I also follow the classical music section in a Norwegian hi-fi forum. From time to time I post on the rmcr. And infequently I check the music section in the Naim forum.

[bhodges]

I don't have time for more than one classical music board, and this one is by far the most interesting, both in terms of the board's software and in the participants.  I do browse classical music blogs--maybe 20 or so--regularly, and Blognoggle, a classical music "blog aggregator" (i.e., that compiles extracts from posts) is a big help.

Great, GGGGRRREEG. But I warn - not everything is great qua sonics or even performance. But it's better than nothing. If you're new to Brian, listen to symphonies 8 and 9 (as I said to Corey), and then listen to Elegy and the 28th and the 30th. Just to get the hang of Brian's distinctive and, for some (many?) people, difficult style.

I just finished 2 and 5 and liked them both....... so yeah, 8 and 9 next.

[J.Z. Herrenberg]

Those six movements comprise the Gothic, under Boult (there is a txt file about it, too). That last movement is very long and I had to split it - if people want it as FLAC files they have to join it themselves. Otherwise they can just download it as an mp3.

So:

I- Allegro assai - attacca.flac
II- Lento espressivo e solenne - attacca.flac
III- Vivace - attacca.flac
IV- Te Deum Laudamus - Allegro moderato.flac
V- Judex crederis esse venturus - Adagio molto solenne e religioso.flac

and then, in conclusion, either

VI- Te ergo quaesumus - Moderato e molto sostenuto.flac.001
VI- Te ergo quaesumus - Moderato e molto sostenuto.flac.002

or

VI - Te ergo quaesumus - Moderato e molto sostenuto.mp3

If you can't manage FLAC files, I'd be willing to convert them all to mp3s...

Ah, good, i had a feeling it was the first. Always wanted to listen to that one.
Hmmmmmm i have no idea how to open FLAC files......

if it isn't a bother....
