From Perotin to Prokofiev (and beyond), performed by Caruso to Khatia, it's all here.

Endless -- ENDLESS -- Music!!!:-)...




The ability to discover and sample through streaming has my head spinning. The CPO label, which is thoroughly available on the major streaming services, is a music-machine for neglected composers. This morning I bumped into the totally obscure August Eberhard Muller and his just awesome Flute Concertos. A near exact Beethoven contemporary, the works have the lightness and classicism of Mozart with tons of Romantic expansive gestures. The recording and artists are first class.

There is a CPO label sale going on at Presto Music right now. But, as I was adding box sets and individual CD's to my cart, the shelf-space-devil on my right should yelled at me, "Are you f#cking crazy?!!! You have NO MORE ROOM FOR PHYSICAL MEDIA!" -- and, the bugger is right!:-)

So, I know I can stream CPO...but, that physical media habit is a fuzzy monkey on my back. Anyway, I did the right thing and created a huge "CPO GEMS" playlist, and have started adding things there. Weingartner Symphonies, Peterson-Berger, Rontgen, Enescu, Gouvy -- it is incredible how much great and unknown music there is to discover on this label.

I am near-to-death from the sheer volume of the whole thing, and (for now) I am not concerned at all with the future of classical music. Ich Habe Genug with what has already been given to us!:-)

I DO miss the liner notes, but these can often be found as downloadable PDF's at either eClassical or Chandos.net, and this is particularly true for the CPO and BIS labels (Hyperion booklets are available as well, but Hyperion doesn't play well with the streaming services as far as the music itself being available).
