Perhaps it's a Michigan thing, but does anyone else get incredibly sick of Christmas music around November 10th? I love "Christmas Favorites" and some of the new stuff is okay. I like a mix of religious and secular, but I'll take just secular if that's what I get. But playing the same 10...

Attention Speciality Collectors: On ArchivMusic.com, a new Disc is out of Leopold Stowkowski conducting the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. This should appeal to fans of the DSO, Stowkowski, and Kubelik, who ends the disc.

ClassicsToday.com is a very good resource in may respects. I have seen however, that the attitude towards the Brittish press is lukewarm at best. "They know so little about their own music" and "making a fetish out of Elgar" , are things I have read, in addition to several backlashes against...
