MagPortal  |  35 Who Made a Difference  |  Yo-Yo Ma One of the finest cellists in the world, Ma is also a reminder that musical excellence can coexist alongside prodigious human decency  |

MagPortal  |  Name That Tune (and Distribute It)  |  Classical music lovers finally get a customized high-fidelity music distribution system  |
 

MagPortal  |  The Schubertiade - A Musical Shangrila in Austria  |  The festival honoring Schubert's music takes place in a region that offers a wealth of recreational possibilities to those members of the family who prefer vacations with something more than classical music.  |

MagPortal  |  A Musical Treasure Under Threat  |  The race is on in Estonia to preserve the legacy of Shostakovich's cultural resistance to Communism.  |

MagPortal  |  The Rise of a Musical Superpower  |  A wave of top-class talent is transforming Asia into a major player in the world of Western classical music  |

MagPortal  |  Sounds of the Century  |  One hundred years young, the London Symphony Orchestra is still delighting audiences with daring music  |

MagPortal  |  Roll Over Beethoven  |  Pop wannabes are taking over serious music -- but here are three new stars with cred and broad appeal   |

MagPortal  |  Can this man save classical music?  |  You think modern concert music is doomed to atonal squonk? You haven't heard Lowell Liebermann, the postmodernist composer listeners actually like.  |

MagPortal |  Master Glass  |  From opera halls to neighborhood movie theaters, Philip Glass attracts an enormous audience -- many of whom have never listened to classical music.  |

MagPortal  |  Classical music: Why bother?  |  A composer and Harvard professor wonders whether his craft has been left behind by a world with no patience for Great Art  |

MagPortal  |  The DIY Symphony  |  Orchestras are defying the slump in classical CD sales by launching their own record labels.  |

MagPortal  |  A Thoroughly Modern Maestro  |  Moptop British conductor Sir Simon Rattle brings his outspoken flair to the legendary Berlin Philharmonic.  |

MagPortal  |  Classics in Cyberspace  |  The classical music world has hit cyberspace like a Wagner finale. Musicians from bassoonists to the percussionist who crashes the cymbals are establishing a serious Internet presence, creating websites to promote their virtuosity.  |

MagPortal  |  Revolutions Per Minute  |  The classical audience isn't gone; it has changed. As Canada's National Post observes, it's been fragmented.  |
 

MagPortal  |  One Man's Bach  |  Bach's significance is oceanic. Perhaps because of this, biographers have disagreed widely as to the essential significance of his work. Klaus Eidam, in The True Life of J.S. Bach, finds a man dedicated to his art, a Christian throughout his life, and a bit of a social climber  |
 

MagPortal  |  Bach to the Future  |  Violinist Anastasia Khitruk is using the free market and the power of the internet to bring the works of the great classical composers to a modern audience  |

MagPortal  |  Sibelius and Goldmark Violin Concertos  |  Jean Sibelius's and Karl Goldmark's concertos are given a fine reading on this disk by Joshua Bell and the Los Angeles Philharmonic led by Esa-Pekka Salonen  |

MagPortal |  Mozart's Melody Machine  |  A mathematical game that composes a practically infinite number of Mozartean minuets from random-number generation
 

MagPortal  |  Rachmaninoff: Symphonic Dances; Vocalise; Five  |  Etudes Tableaux With the Minnesota Orchestra and its outgoing director, Eiji Oue, the great work gets a superb treatment; slower and more deliberate than either Johanos or Zinman, but retaining the dance qualities envisaged by Rachmaninov
 

MagPortal  |  Beethoven 32 Piano Sonatas  |  Whether thundering or gentle, many phrases in these CDs by Robert Silverman suggest the authority of a master pianist.

MagPortal  |  Goldberg Variations - Perahia  |  Perahia makes good use of the modern piano's capabilities, but he also maintains great respect for the style of the music, never resorting to dynamic extremes or muddying the contrapuntal textures with pedaling.

MagPortal  |  Film Score Monthly's "Golden Age Classics"  |  Newman and Waxman These three CDs form, we can hope, the vanguard of the most ambitious archeological unearthing of filmmusic masterworks yet attempted
 

MagPortal  |  Acrobatics with Annette  |  Annette Peacock's musical future suddenly represents much more than her past -- which is wholly appropriate for an avant-garde pianist/singer of the first order. After being inactive for over a decade, she has released an album of songs composed for classical-string quartet.
 

MagPortal  |  Bach Keyboard Concertos  |  These performances, featuring Murray Perahia as both soloist and conductor of the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields, take full advantage of a new freedom inherent in the structure of these concertos

MagPortal |  Remixing her life Red-hot and super-hyphenated  |  half-Thai, half-Chinese, Singapore-born violinist Vanessa-Mae tells us about maturing, making choices and finding a personal identity.

MagPortal  |  The Van Cliburn Amateurs II  |  A review of the second annual Van Cliburn International Piano Competition for Outstanding Amateurs

MagPortal  |  Strads for the masses!  |  It would be nice for everybody to have a Strad, muses Neil Gershenfeld, a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technologys Media Laboratory. He is leading a project there to match and even surpass everything a Stradivarius can do, using not wood but software.

MagPortal  |  DW3 Classical Music Resources  |  The most comprehensive collection of classical music resources on the Web

Wired  |  And Now for a Little Mozart

MagPortal  |  Disconcertos  |  Berlin's music lovers are all ears for avant-garde composers, old and new
 

Wired |  2006-04-13  |  A Sour Note on Modern Times  |  The pastoral sounds of Beethoven's Sixth Symphony serve to remind us, yet again, that life has gotten away from us. Let us lay our blanket alongside the brook and drink the sweet, sweet wine.  |  Commentary by Tony Long
