A focused newsletter on classical recordings and concerts, for people who buy recordings
Weekly
Once a week: the recordings released this week with the label and the performers, what the trade press made of them, season and festival announcements from major orchestras and opera houses, and one broadcast worth catching before it disappears. Written for someone who buys recordings regularly, not a musicology student.
Not biographical pieces about a composer with no new recording or performance behind them, not music theory explainers aimed at students, not instrument or equipment reviews unrelated to a recording, not general classical music history with no news content.
Where the news comes from: Bachtrack, listings and reviews, Presto Music, classical articles, Gramophone, Slipped Disc, Classic FM.
Nobody gets this one yet. It starts when you do.
