COLLECTOR's
CORNER
Collector's
Corner aims to become
the Internet's central
resource for the trade
and discussion of live
concert and opera performances
not otherwise commercially
available on disc. It
is for collectors who
wish to swap (no selling
is permitted) with other
collectors rare, historic
and
contemporary performances.
It functions in the same
way as any standard bulletin
board. Readers simply
post lists of recordings
they wish to swap and
wait. The board will remain
unmoderated.

SACD, DSD, DTS, AC3, DVD-Audio, SuperAudio confused? Let Paul Shoemaker put you right
An ALL-ARNOLD STUDY DAY and Concert at the Royal Festival Hall 24-9-04
Some recordings should be buried alive ... Kevin Sutton says:"I cannot recall hearing worse brass playing by a professional orchestra than in the what-should-be gorgeous set-up to the fourth movement chorale. This splendid introduction is murdered in cold blood by horrendously out of tune brass."
The Proms hit a low note: Was Yan Pascal Tortelier painting Berlioz痴 opium-induced fairytale in the skies, asks Aline Nassif? And, Heaven forbid if there is any truth to the rumour that Roger Norrington is to start recording Mahler, says Marc Bridle. Outside the Proms, Barenboim and the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra triumph unreservedly.
