General Classical Music Discussion / Re: On-line Stores & Sellers
Last post by DavidW - Today at 01:46:45 PMWhen I was waiting so long for my Grooves order, I ended up just streaming the recordings anyway.
I remember back in the day I would place a BRO order, and when it finally arrived I would have forgotten what I ordered and it would be like a surprise present as I opened the box.

Peter H. Bloom, Carol Epple, Dan Zupan & Dave Zox. Peter & Carol have been core members for an age, so at the very least they haven't tired of playing my music. Dan and Dave are new recruits, and they're enthusiasm for the music has been highly gratifying.

Pieces de Luth and Manuscrits.
Hopkinson Smith plays on a Pietro Railich Lute, Venise, 1644.
See back cover for more details.
Another pearl in the crown of Smith, a master Lute player of yore, and one of the best that graced our earth. Recording and performance are without blemish.
It is very beautiful music. I've been listening to Dufaut ever since I saw your post this morning - Sigrun Richter, not Hopkinson Smith, for no reason other than that she was at the top of the list when I searched for recordings.

Wish that I could interview the folks who left and what was on their minds, how they felt hearing the music, etc.
Rail firm Northern has said it will continue to play classical music at 35 stations to combat bad behaviour.
Works "inspired by Handel, Beethoven and Mozart" are piped out over public address systems at certain times.
The music was rolled out to more than 20 additional places last April following a pilot scheme at nine sites.
Northern said it had led to a "reduction" in reports of large groups loitering at its stations in the North West and North East of England.

Last post by Karl Henning - Today at 12:41:13 PMQuote from: LKB on Today at 12:24:50 PMI remember singing this in university, decades ago. It was about halfway enjoyable, possibly because l had sung Mahler's Resurrection about a year earlier. Talk about a hard act to follow...It's a work I remember being underwhelmed by. And, I should listen to the Mahler again.
