Here is a comment I just received today.
I recently found your website and have been listening to and enjoying some of your selections. Unlike most other genres of music it seems to be difficult to find classical music on the web without having to pay for the privilege. So your endeavours are much appreciated. It saddened me somewhat to read your “Opera Apology”. Although I’m not an avid fan of opera, it seems to me that you are missing out on so much beautiful music. I put my thinking cap on and thought if “The Evening Prayer” from Humperdink’s opera Hansel and Gretel doesn’t move you then you really must have a very deep phobia.

No Comment I say! Up to you dear listener. It’s your site!

March 27, 2010 at 3:50 amPlease be specific Bob! Which piece of opera you want?! I wonder … theoretically I could be deluged with requests for Opera, and then poor Jim who doesn’t like it, would have his site taken over. Have to rename it: Jim’s Reluctant Opera Site!
