Anyways, I just wanted to tell everyone about this music program called realrhapsody.  I've had it for a couple years but like nobody I know has it and it just makes life sooo much easier :P


It costs like 10 or 15 dollars a month (don't remember which), but it has like EVERYTHING:

Complete works by (or very close to):

Mozart
Bach
Beethoven
Brahms
Wagner
Mahler
Paganini
Sibelius
Bruch
Bruckner
Grieg
Schumann
Haydn
Schubert
Handel
Britten
Walton
Vaughn-Williams
Elgar
Ravel
Debussy
Faure
Franck
Prokofiev
Shostakovich
Scriabin
Mussorgsky
Rimsky-Korsakov
Saint-Saens
Chopin
Liszt
Alkan
Massenet
Vivaldi
Verdi
Puccini
Rossini
Penderecki
Schoenberg
Stravinsky
Medtner
Villa-Lobos
Hindemith
Barber
Ives
Copland
Bartok
Gershwin
Strauss
Rachmaninov
Glass
Albeniz
De Falla
Kodaly
Tchaikovsky
Szymanowski


And probably any other common composer that I'm not thinking of.  They also have tons of stuff by some of the most incredibly obscure composers like Xenakis, Sorabji, Nancarrow, Boulez, Skalkottas, Takahashi, Ornstein, Corigliano, Ginastera, Cowell, Stockhausen, Varese, Gorecki, Gubaidulina, Ustvolskaya, Babbitt, Adams, Nyman, Dutilleux, Bowen, Cage, Kagel, Wuorinen, Ligeti, Lutoslawski, Rodrigo etc.


And they have stuff by all of the best performers like Ricci, Midori, Rostropovich, Hamelin, Argerich, Pletnev, Heifetz, Menuhin, Richter, Gould, Horowitz, Barere, Du Pre, Perlman, Bolet, Arditti Quartet, Juilliard Quartet, Maria Callas, Pavarotti etc.


AND great conductors like Sallinen, Boulez, Reiner, Stokowski, Ozawa, Karajan, Bernstein, Ormandy, not to mention the best Orchestras in the world like Hong Kong Philharmonic, Boston Pops, Chicago Symphony, Berlinerphilharmoniker, Metropolitan Opera House, Philadelphia Orchestra etc.



I don't get anything for getting people to sign up or anything; I just think it's an incredible program that everyone should check out.  There's a 14 day free trial you can use to check it out first too.

And at present the site above warns
"Sorry, we are only able to offer Rhapsody® to US customers at this time".

That would seem very substantially to reduce the "everyone" to whom you refer. That said, do you by chance know from what kinds of source this site obtains its material?

Best,

My university has a subscription to Naxos's online service.  It's very nice.
