If you go to the website of the Toronto Symphony Orchestra (tso.ca), you will see on the first page a box where you can sign up for their email newsletter. It takes a minute and you get the newsletter every couple of months. Once you have done that, you can sign up for their Beethoven on Demand. That is, in fact, the Naxos Music Library -- over 38000 CDs on over 100 labels. About 36000 of these are classical, and it is an overwhelming embarrassment of riches, including some of the greatest recordings ever made. There they are ready for to stream over your computer speakers. The NML cost about $200 a year to subscribe to here, but through the TSO you get it free. It shocked me when I first explored it. Sign up, type J.S. Bach in the search bar and see what happens. There are 2119 entries for Bach, including CDs that are compilations with other composers. Probably the greatest freebie on the internet.Philip Amoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11739418522974972567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725252734697392575.post-34998425317595316682009-12-22T15:55:35.453+00:002009-12-22T15:55:35.453+00:00Philip: well, I suppose knowing who the author is ...Philip: well, I suppose knowing who the author is gives me ´an edge´ to quote the last page of the book :D <br /><br />Enjoy Nielsen! Nielsen and Andersen are two countrymen I am quite proud of though we listen to Bach more often in this home. We don´t listen to psalms that often; we sing them. (Two every night in the Advent period).Dorte Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14535044092722418173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725252734697392575.post-26376686075471130092009-12-22T13:31:43.650+00:002009-12-22T13:31:43.650+00:00Dorte, I'm delighted you spotted my clues - bo...Dorte, I'm delighted you spotted my clues - both are peculiarly English, the extended one in particular. Well done you. I have, it so happens, been listening this morning to Danish Christmas hymns --Danske Julsamer og Sange -- courtesy of the Naxos Music Library. Carols by Balle, Cruger, Bruber, Nicolai, et al., in very lovely performances. I was planning on listening to my beloved Nielsen, but that can wait until later.Philip Amoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11739418522974972567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725252734697392575.post-40108721775732356102009-12-22T12:54:50.084+00:002009-12-22T12:54:50.084+00:00Philip: I am glad you found my untimely bait :D

But I am one of those who thinks that their time in "England's green and pleasant land" has given them some awfully odd notions about that country. The author featured here I was once able to tolerate, with the help of a pint or two of real ale and a real pub, while the other of the two just drives me loopy.Philip Amoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11739418522974972567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725252734697392575.post-74632711594931285052009-12-20T17:16:53.782+00:002009-12-20T17:16:53.782+00:00Margot: your clues are always welcome, and I think...Margot: your clues are always welcome, and I think they must be very helpful.Dorte Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14535044092722418173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725252734697392575.post-52615753258457959482009-12-20T16:14:41.379+00:002009-12-20T16:14:41.379+00:00Dorte - Thanks for this reminder of a fine book : ...Dorte - Thanks for this reminder of a fine book : ).
