yes, do it. I would be very interested

I don't know much about the subject, but I assume like many renouned artists, some of the composers who are loved and respected today were not respected as much as they deserved during their own time. I was wondering if there are many famous composers who are valued today whose music was obscure in ...

I can't help you with specific recordings or DVD-A/SACD releases. But I would recommend you try Beethoven's other symphonies. You'll love nos 3 and 9.

Beethoven: Symphony No 9
Tchaikovsky: Symphony No. 5
Dvorák: Symphony No. 9
Mahler: Symphony No 1
Stravinsky: Rite of Spring
Holst: The Planets

I've been using The Collectorz Music Collector for a few months. Great peice of software, they maintain their own database which is basically a bolstered version of CDDB.

First of all Elizabeth Berridge is home grown hailing from right h...

Thank you for the welcome, Ralph. I have been reading the boards on and off for about a week and decided it was time that I contribute to the discussion.

Those in Hollywood never let the truth get in the way of a good story do they? Amadeus is one of my favourite films. Ofcourse there are so many historical innacuracies that it's almost silly to discuss them. What I feel does come across is a real passion for Mozart's music. The cast are amazing as w...
