What are you waiting for?

Glad I finally figured out how to get the music at Naxos.com to work again. Only 1/5 of any given track (depending on the recording), but with for such a large distributor of recordings (especially classical - Naxos, Marco Polo, BIS), that's still of much interest; I have many recordings from those three labels on my shelves already, some of them there because the site once offered the opportunity to audition entire recordings, some of which (not enough to justify their expenses of course) I then did go and buy. (For example, Ernest John Moeran's 1937 symphony in G minor and his sinfonietta in C. The symphony combines a range of influences- from the English and Irish countryside (or so it seems??) to the music of Finnish contemporary, Jean Sibelius - but "the whole is more than the sum of its parts" and I find the work very exciting. And both the symphony and the sinfonietta (and the later cello sonata, on a Marco Polo CD that can also be heard in part at the same website) show how this composer was "not just another English Pastoral Composer" (if you know that particular type- the great ones did not conform to type but the lesser ones, as often with any school, did.) (See now-recent post to stash for page from which to download a free recording of Moeran's symphony :) )
