Welcome
Classical Music Thoughts started as a list of CDs Vince discovered on the Naxos Complete Tracks service (at $20US/yr, excellent for expanding musical horizons, but offers a very limited user interface) and then the Naxos Music Library (about $150/yr, but the features and audio quality are worth the money if you listen to more than a few CDs a month).* He wanted to share responses to this music with others and discovered WordPress.
Vince’s friend, Andrew, liked this idea and joined the blog. Andrew approaches Classical Music by researching and purchasing key performances, offering profound reviews of what he hears (Look for a name under the title of each post to see who wrote it – and you’ll see what I mean! – Vince).
We’re not musicologists or even fluent in music theory. We just enjoy Classical music and this experiment in long-distance collaboration. Sometimes we’ll offer detailed remarks, or convey an emotional response.
