[147.2] SOUND ARCHIVES AND LISTS

The Classical Music Archives is a pay-site containing an extraordinary range of resources -- currently some 24,118 files covering works by 1,557 composers, together with radio links, background data and much more.

On a more modest tack, but one of significance for NFE readers, Dave Lampson's Classical Net modern repertoire (post 1945) list is one of a number of short introductory guides which crop up regularly in general online composer searches. At present this includes luminaries such as: Adams | Babbitt | Barraque | Berio | Boulez | Bryars | Cage | Carter | Crumb | Dallapiccola | Feldman | Ferneyhough | Glass | Gubaidulina | Harrison | Hartmann | Henze | Hovhaness | Kokkonen | Krenek | Ligeti | Lindberg | Lutoslawski | Nancarrow | Nono | Part | Partch | Penderecki | Reich | Reynolds | Riley | Sallinen | Scelsi | Schnittke | Stockhausen | Subotnick | Takemitsu | Varese | Webern | Wolpe | Wuorinen | and Xenakis

Lampson adds: "I am now looking for volunteers to write short biographies and recommend specific recordings for those composers who are not currently well-represented. All contributions will be credited. Recommended repertoire is also up for discussion. If you have specific interest in this music or these composers and would like to help, please send your contribution (bio, recommended recordings, etc.) to my email address."
