Classical Music for Aficionados

Erictal4075,

Good post.

One might argue, in view of your description, classical music is already at the level of a tiny niche in the musical landscape. 
What’s interesting to me is that the contributors to this site are relatively few, considering I have observed references to classical music by many other A’goners in different threads. I am happy for those who contribute, but I wish there were more.

on the contrary, i think classical music is more freely available than ever before in USA

i am old enough to recall when you had to live in a big city and

listen to stupid commercials/talk just to hear some classical music

true, it is supported by a small wealthy percentage in usa

they have their fancy concert halls and expensive programs

but that has no effect on me

there seem to be plenty of first rate musicians being formed today

i have no desire to be among any majority

to each his own

Does anyone know anything about our contributor “Schubert?”

Haven’t heard from in in a long while.

Yes, I did.

One night Microsoft just took his ten and put in 11 without him knowing, which cleaned off every single thing that was on his large computer !

The way Audiogon works it is impossible to use the same Handel twice .

You MUST use a new Handel . I chose Jim5559 as I think Jim204 is a /the star on

here , just thought if anyone asked I would say this .

P.S . I started before rock butted in .

Besides , I just used Schubert because on the day I started with same it was nobody but rockers on here , Didn’t like and made a fool of myself as if

I was great , still hate rock , a huge blow to American society .

Took music that was based on romance to one based on lust for starters
