Classical Music For A Modern World
Sure, we play Bach, Beethoven and Mozart — though we also dig the early music of Tallis, chance works by Cage, arias from Verdi and John Adams, as well as the composers on New Amsterdam records. Everything here was released after 2008, too, which is another way of declaring that notes written down on paper are still some of the most exciting ones to hear in all of contemporary music.

Checked out Claire Chase's Terrestre on eMusic -- not a single composer listed -- only Claire Chase gets credit! Who knows Saariaho or Cage; find their works on Terrestre? -- People who designed & run this site don't have a clue or care about composers or written notes, dismissing anyone who does. -

I miss the old days when eMusic thought that a symphonic movement was equivalent to a "song" and we could stock up dirt cheap, but even since that loophole has closed it's an awfully sweet way to shop for classical and jazz records.
