Classical Net Update

The Classical Net site <http://www.allclassical.net/> has been revised and updated. This time, we've added 76 new book, CD and DVD reviews.

Note the new URL. Classical Net got involved with some criminals posing as businessmen. They took my domain name, and then didn't pay for it, and haven't given it back. We weren't the only ones - over 150 sites were treated similarly. You can read about it here:
http://www.latimes.com/business/20010415/ t000031912.html

Until we can get the classical.net domain back, allclassical.net will work, and when the primary domain name is once again ours, the allclassical.net will serve as a permanent backup.

The list below (excerpted from the revision history page) gives just some of the highlights. Check the online revision history page (linked from the home page 'What's New?' for hot links to individual items below.

My thanks to all who contributed in the past few of months. As always, contributions are welcome. I can use articles and reviews of all types, and no subject is too obscure, specialized, or technical.

Fight the good fight. In the meantime, to avoid confusion, it should be noted that http://www.allclassical.org is the website for KBPS-FM, right here in Portland, Oregon, and one of the few remaining 24-hour classical, independent, non-commercial, non-NPR, non-Pacifica radio stations left here in the US. (I have no affiliation, other than sending in my check every year.) They've recently added streaming audio of the regular radio signal to the site, so those unfortunates suffering from KUSC toxicity can listen in. (Unless they're still mourning Bonnie Grice's departure.) A glance at the on-line playlists will, IMO, support a contention that the station has better than average programming, as long as you're able to get over the reality that the tonalists won the war, and the atonalists and serialists lost it.

Happy listening.

What war? You mean the war to get programmed by mousse-haired corporate ignoramuses? Eh, so what? In my home, they won the war, or rather reached a detente with the tonalists.
