The Blue Highway If the blues are your thing, pay tribute to the blues greats at The Blue Highway Web site. You can read and leave notes on message boards, get the latest blues news, and find radio listings for great blues stations. You can also chat with other blues fans in Muddy's Cabin and link up to live and archived blues broadcasts via the Internet. Make sure you check out The Gutbucket (as if you could miss it), which is a hodgepodge of blues information. http://thebluehighway.com Classical.Net This site not only has information about famous composers sorted in several ways, such as by birth date, it aims to be of even more use to the classical music collector. Classical.Net offers reviews of more than 1,000 classical CDs, a buyer's guide to building a good collection, and book recommendations broken down into categories. http://www.classical.net The J.S. Bach Home Page Visit the Bach Home Page for a variety of information about the great Baroque composer Johann Sebastian Bach. Biographical information and portraits are available at this site, as well as bibliographical references to Bach's work and literature about him. You can search a database of his complete works by title, year, instrument, key, and more. http://www.jsbach.org Jazz Online The Jazz Online Web site features interviews with modern jazz artists and links to the record companies that produce their albums. The online magazine provides the latest news from the jazz community, a Starter Kit for a jazz CD collection, and music suggestions for those listening to jazz for the first time. http://www.jazzonln.com Musicals101.com A former Broadway production assistant compiled the wealth of information at this site and presents it freely for the sole purpose of sharing his love for Broadway. The site includes comprehensive indexes of musicals sorted alphabetically and by year, biographical information for the great stars and composers of Broadway, and links to online musical resources. http://www.musicals101.com The Virtual Opera House In stark contrast to sites which merely list links to other sites, the Virtual Opera House is a treasure trove of actual content. No opera lover short of the purists should miss this irreverent site that makes opera accessible to the rest of us. It provides an entertaining introduction to opera history, and you'll find photos, portraits, and information about key composers and performers new and old, as well as audio clips to help you get your bearings. http://users.club.co.za/dlever Andrew Lloyd Webber http://www.reallyuseful.com Classical Composers' Archive http://voyager.physics.unlv.edu/webpages2/picgalr2.html Early Music Women Composers http://150.252.8.92/www/iawm/pages George Frideric Handel http://www.npj.com/homepage/teritowe/gfhindex.html Gilbert And Sullivan Archive http://diamond.boisestate.edu/gas InterJazz http://interjazz.com The Mozart Project http://www.frontiernet.net/~sboerner/mozart/index.html Opera Basic Dictionary http://www.mariobiondi.net/opere/diz_opera_.html Operabase http://www.operabase.com OperaGlass http://rick.stanford.edu/opera Richard Wagner Archive http://users.utu.fi/hansalmi/wagner.spml Schubert Institute Research Center http://www.siuk.org.uk Unknown Composers http://kith.org/jimmosk/TOC.html |
