- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9Thank god.... some of these dont even exist on anything you could get at a store.
- TheZorch, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Most if not all of these classics are listed as Public Domain. This means the RIAA can't control them but I bet they wish they could.
- Dragular, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6I know most classical songs (your Beethoven's and Mozart's) are public domain now, the actual MUSICS and all, but what about like... recordings of them? For instance, if someone goes out and records himself playing Mozart, is his recording not public domain? or what huh?
- Comatose51, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6@Donegrim: "The music is everyones."
Words the RIAA never wants to hear. - begbegbegbegbeg, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Ahh yes, the whine of the musically illiterate..."they can't be any good, because I've never heard of them. Where's the Britney Spears section?"
Here's a hot tip: LISTEN to the music and decide for yourself if the performance is any good. Relying on a "name" to tell you the worth is foolishness of the pop culture kind. (Leonard Bernstein, anyone?) - oMeSSiaHo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4I digg it because it has Holst. Its so hard to find songs other then the "Planets" that he has written. Good find!
- Donegrim, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4As far as I know, the recording is not public domain, so the RIAA could still go after people listning to unauthorised copies of recordings. But unlike modern music, you can go out and perform it yourself, and distribute and sell it as you see fit. The music is everyones.
- Donegrim, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Occasionally something comes up on digg that isn't totally retarded, this counts as one. It's so good to have a resource where you can just pick a random composer to listen to, for free, just to see what they're like.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Wow, excellent find. Thanks!
- billucf, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Any suggestions of what I should check out?
- bethanyb, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Dude my string quartet started Beethoven Opus 18 today. I was about to buy a recording, and lo and behold I stop by digg, and find it on the site. Must be my lucky day!
- 4dplane, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Absolutely, hands down, Claude Debussy!
- Quintus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Large Collection on Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Sound/list - fatdog789, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3The music doesn't belong to everyone.
The sheet music DOES, because copyright has long since expired (and in most cases, did not exist when the work was released.
The RECORDING is DOES NOT belong to everyone. The recording belongs to whatever symphony/orchestra/whatever performed it.
The difference: anyone can grab the sheet music and perform the song themselves. But you can't perform the orchestra's rendition yourself because every performance is different.
IOW: the copyright on the performance still exists. - saifatlast, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2If you like darker stuff, Rachmaninoff is pretty cool. If on the other hand, you like pretty flowery stuff, I'd recommend Bach. I find Chopin to be a good mix of the two.
- CapeKid, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Sergei Prokofiev, Romeo and Juliet Suite (the Montagues and Capulets portion). Has always been my favorite piece, but downloading it through this site is hard to do.
- GiJoeBob, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Totally cool stuff!
- NobleArc, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Oh man, I never even concidered posting classiccat to digg. Good idea! :D
- Endoquixote, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Here's some nice ones too:
http://www.classicistranieri.com/dblog/articolo.asp?articolo=6161 - musicbear, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Cool... but awkward to navigate... scrape up any of the Russian composers... great stuff!
- chopenik, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Can't go wrong with Chopin.
- yahoofrom, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1I think i have to contact RIAA. kekeke.
- inactive, on 10/28/2007, -0/+0DRM music cheaper than iTunes, sweet! DRM music cheaper than Amazon, sweeter - Yeah, so they don't have mainstream stuff (still you'll see the likes of Arcade Fire, Bloc Party, Feist, ...) but for people like me, mainstream stuff is pap anyways! Me, I pay $10/month and receive 40 downloads - that $0.25 for the less mathematically inclined :).My music blog - http://snap-123.com .This is a tremendous leap in terms of online music stores/services. You get the best song quality possible (2nd best to lossless), that can be played with any media player / portable device, and the range of album selection is far greater than that of iTunes Plus. Amazon's download program is also simple and straightforward. So it's quite a large step closer towards perfection!

- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -6/+4Lifesaver!!!! I've been looking for good classical resource for one of my client's projects!! I could kiss you!!

Ahhh makes me think of the glory days of thumbzilla...
