Site of the Day for Monday, October 8, 2001
Andante
A special greeting to all the Canadians on the list who are celebrating
Thanksgiving today - may your holiday be filled with much warmth and
happiness.
This rich and rewarding site offers classical music lovers not only
streaming audio but a truly amazing wealth of reference material as well. A
mere sampling of the sources include The Concise Grove Dictionary of Music,
The New Kobbe's Opera Book as well as the New York Review of Books
classical music coverage from 1963 onwards.
However, Andante presents its visitors with far more than simply reference
sources. Current concerts from a musical calendar that covers the world, as
well as a magazine section of articles on the varied facets of the world of
classical music may be explored at the site.
This website has further ambitions; it hopes ultimately to "become the
definitive online reference for classical music worldwide, combining rich
educational content with topic-specific search and navigation tools,
[bringing] together the existing educational resources of the world=92s
greatest music organizations, allowing them to coordinate their efforts
using the Andante site, [and to] fulfill the needs of educators and parents
by providing free downloads, directories of music education resources and
standards, listings of educational events and programs, personalized
research assistance, continuous joint curriculum development, and much
more." - from the website
The List enjoyed a charming Hayden Concerto for Cello and Orchestra, Hob.
VIIb:1 while perusing the site - it is always a relief to know precisely
what is being broadcast, so the inclusion of the record label and catalogue
number as well as the performer and composition is a great boon.
Soar over to Andante.com for an eminently satisfying musical experience.
