RUBBISH CLASSICAL WEBSITES!!

All I ask for is one online destination for all my classical music needs including forums and discussion, *high quality* downloads from an infinite classical catalogue, half decent search facilities so I can search efficiently on composer, ensemble, instrumentalist etc... decent and up to date reviews...am I asking too much????

nom nom nom nom nom

... What kind of thread is this?

Yes you're asking for too much. If you're so desperate, why don't YOU do it yourself?

Jeesh...

http://www.naxosmusiclibrary.com/home.asp

Has most of the things you mentioned. It will cost you though!

Naxos Music library won't always cost you. The likelihood is a college, library or university attended by you or one of your friends will have a subscription password you can use. It's not quite as brilliant as it looks though.

Naxos is pretty damn good.

Classical music archive also has some goods.

But college/ university access is a must.

I assumed this was just another spam preparation post. Let's see.

talented people want money...and casino and porno ad's just dont give them the satisfaction they need financially...therefore you will probably never find a site like that. If there are ever any good ones...they will be free probably to start with...but then will charge you.

SO...no there are none. IMSLP starts up again soon ...if all goes well.

*laughs* "All I ask for is... an infinite classical catalogue."

This reminds me of the old saying, "Beggers can't be choosers."

I can't wait for IMSLP. Yesterday I paid £6.95 for a score that was poorly photocopied, and marked with copyright from NINETEEN FIFTEEN. Garrrgh!
