Your subscription to the CLASSM-L list (Classical Music List) has been
accepted.
Please save this message for future reference, especially if you are not
familiar with LISTSERV. This might look like a waste of disk space now, but in
6 months you will be glad you saved this information when you realize that you
cannot remember what are the lists you are subscribed to, or what is the
command to leave the list to avoid filling up your mailbox while you are on
vacations. In fact, you should create a new mail folder for subscription
confirmation messages like this one, and for the "welcome messages" from the
list owners that you are will occasionally receive after subscribing to a new
list.
To send a message to all the people currently subscribed to the list, just send
mail to CLASSM-L@BROWNVM.BROWN.EDU. This is called "sending mail to the list",
because you send mail to a single address and LISTSERV makes copies for all the
people who have subscribed. This address (CLASSM-L@BROWNVM.BROWN.EDU) is also
called the "list address". You must never try to send any command to that
address, as it would be distributed to all the people who have subscribed. All
commands must be sent to the "LISTSERV address", LISTSERV@BROWNVM.BITNET (or
LISTSERV@BROWNVM.BROWN.EDU). It is very important to understand the difference
between the two, but fortunately it is not complicated. The LISTSERV address is
like a FAX number, and the list address is like a normal phone line. If you
make your FAX call someone's regular phone number by mistake, it will be an
unpleasant experience for him but you will probably be excused the first time.
If you do it regularly, however, he will probably get upset and send you a
nasty complaint. It is the same with mailing lists, with the difference that
you are calling hundreds or thousands of people at the same time, so a lot more
people get annoyed if you use the wrong number.
You may leave the list at any time by sending a "SIGNOFF CLASSM-L" command to
LISTSERV@BROWNVM.BITNET (or LISTSERV@BROWNVM.BROWN.EDU). You can also tell
LISTSERV how you want it to confirm the receipt of messages you send to the
list. If you do not trust the system, send a "SET CLASSM-L REPRO" command and
LISTSERV will send you a copy of your own messages, so that you can see that
the message was distributed and did not get damaged on the way. After a while
you may find that this is getting annoying, especially if your mail program
does not tell you that the message is from you when it informs you that new
mail has arrived from CLASSM-L. If you send a "SET CLASSM-L ACK NOREPRO"
command, LISTSERV will mail you a short acknowledgement instead, which will
look different in your mailbox directory. With most mail programs you will know
immediately that this is an acknowledgement you can read later. Finally, you
can turn off acknowledgements completely with "SET CLASSM-L NOACK NOREPRO".
Contributions sent to this list are automatically archived. You can get a list
of the available archive files by sending an "INDEX CLASSM-L" command to
LISTSERV@BROWNVM.BITNET (or LISTSERV@BROWNVM.BROWN.EDU). You can then order
these files with a "GET CLASSM-L LOGxxxx" command, or using LISTSERV's database
search facilities. Send an "INFO DATABASE" command for more information on the
latter.
Please note that it is presently possible for anybody to determine that you are
signed up to the list through the use of the "REVIEW" command, which returns
the e-mail address and name of all the subscribers. If you do not want your
name to be visible, just issue a "SET CLASSM-L CONCEAL" command.
More information on LISTSERV commands can be found in the LISTSERV reference
card, which you can retrieve by sending an "INFO REFCARD" command to
LISTSERV@BROWNVM.BITNET (or LISTSERV@BROWNVM.BROWN.EDU).

Here is my list with (if any) favorite performers/conductors:
1. Purcell - The Fairy Queen (Gardiner)
2. Handel - Water music & Music for the Royal Fireworks (Gardiner or Hogwood)
3. Bach - Well-tempered Clavier (Gustav Leonhardt on harpsichord)
4. Bach - anything else will do
5 Mozart - Entfuhrung aus dem Serail (Hogwood - no one else!)
6. Mozart - Symphony in D major, "Haffner" K385 (Hogwood or Gardiner)
7. Mozart - anything else will do
8. Schubert - All piano sonatas
9. Beethoven - All string quartets and all Piano sonatas
10. Strawinsky - The Firebird (complete version) (Dutoit)
11. Strawinsky - Soldiers Tale (Strawinsky)
12. Bartok - Concerto for Orchestra (Dorati)
Some extra remarks:
When you listen to music from the baroque era, try the performers who play
on original instruments as your first choice. To name a few of these:
Gardiner, Hogwood and Koopman. If you don't like what you hear, change to
te "modern" versions and when you get bored by them switch back! :-))
Happy listening.

[This bounced back to me, I'm trying it again.........]
A while back I nattered on incessantly about Gregorian chant. In an
intriguing, many-sided response, Dick Hihn reacted to my
shoot-from-the-hip statement that the Roman Catholic church has the
richest heritage of masterpieces of liturgical music. (I was thinking
of people like Palestrina, Victoria, Byrd, Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven,
Schubert, Faure, Rutter, and many more.) Dick responded with,
"Thinking globally, I disagree with you on this point."
I need to think more globally and so I would enjoy further discussion
about this point by Dick and everyone else on the list.
Thanks!
Chuck Long, anticipating internet responses from all over the globe

About a year ago I discovered opera, and since then I have obtained a
collection of recordings of operas by Donizetti, Bellini, Verdi and Puccini.
Most of these recordings are (more) recent ones, if avaliable from Sutherland
/ Bonynge. Now I have 2 questions, and I wonder if somebody can help:
1. an alternative for Sutherland would be Maria Callas. I wonder if there
is a list of all her recordings? I known that EMI has quite a lot.
2. any recommendation on books / recordings of Verismo operas / composers?
