Music at my Desktop via a Database
The Naxos Music Library database features a number of recordings from the Naxos collection. Many people might know of Naxos because of their inexpensive, yet usually good, recordings of music available where classical music is sold. I have a number of their discs in my collection. I’m excited to know about this database to which Harvard subscribes, especially since I find it difficult to work in silence.
I freely admit that the first piece I listened to is an orchestral version of Antonin Dvorak’s Slavonic Dance No. 8. Johannes Brahm’s Symphony No. 4, Allegro energico is queued next. Now I have something to play when the radio goes to commercial. I wonder if I can find a hambo or some contradance tunes …
I could spend entirely too much time, uh, playing with this database. How awesome: legal classical music via my computer!
