    What do you think about the Grammy for Best Classical Album being discontinued, because winners also tended to win in other categories? Here is the quote : “In looking at past winners over many years in classical, nearly all of them also won in one of the other categories,” Bill Freimuth...

    Hey guys, it's my first post in this forum. I discovered classical music world when I was in college, and I started my album collection on iTunes.

    Hi everyone! Just joined :) So, as I begin to delve more into classical music, I've been looking around the internet for what people often suggest as the "best" recordings of various albums/suites/scores. This is important for me, as I'd like to find just one, specific version of various albums...

    First an foremost you will agree with me, all Gombert did was top notch, his motets are elaborated and complex, we could say avant-garde, his Magnificats are splendid. But anyone notice is French Chanson were just as good I.e Mort et Fortune, Triste depart. Beside Noel Akchoté, the great...

    Artist: Pink Floyd Album: The Dark Side of the Moon Year: 1973 Genre(s): Art Rock, Progressive Rock One of the main problems I have with this album is the overproduction - while some people love the "epic" feeling of the songs here, I find it too over-the-top. Plus I feel like Pink Floyd had...

    Artist: Radiohead Album: OK Computer Year: 1997 Genre(s): Alternative Rock, Art Rock I wasn't a big fan of this one. The guitar tones used and vocals often got on my nerves, and it was overall too depressing-sounding for my tastes. If I were to pick some highlight tracks, they would be "Let...

    I've been a Jazz fan for awhile but it's always taken a back seat to Classical. However, lately I've been enamored with Sharrock's album 'Ask the Ages', which has recently been remastered and put back in print by Bill Laswell. Anyway, the said album is a visceral masterpiece that rocks like no...

    As many threads here will testify, there IS 'serious' music outside of the classical sphere, and Joanna Newsom is one such artist. She's a concert harpist and singer, known in the early days for her 'Lisa Simpson' voice and hyper-literate lyrics. She's both a critics' and hipsters' favourite...

    I'm pretty hyped about this new album. It's 19 motets by, IMO, the greatest composer of Renaissance motets since Josquin, finally performed & recorded closely miked with the kind of sound, blend, attention to intonation, and balance between the voices that make this music approachable and reveal...

    Lately I know that people know that I haven't had much time this summer to reflect on anything meaningful due to my home building projects and trying to decipher how to create something for my growing vinyl collection (and iPods too) and spending time with Izzy. Also I have been taking time off...

    Vashti Bunyan is one of those artists with a cult reputation built upon the unavailability of her first Album for a couple of decades. Think Nick Drake, who was also produced by Joe Boyd, they were rediscovered when CD's made their tracks available. I love that album but find it had to...
