Welcome to Adobe GoLive 6

Our April drawing/giveway will quickly expand the collections of three lucky AUDIOPHILE AUDITION readers. To celebrate its 30th anniversary, the British classical label Chandos has released a lavish boxed set of 30 of some of the best CD titles they have drawn from their rich catalog. The Milestones Set includes such classics as Bax Symphonies, Hummel Piano Concertos and Masses, Symphonies of Vaughan Williams, The Grainger Edition, Handel’s Chados Anthems, Purcell’s Dido and Aeneas and songs of Stanford.  Chandos is distributed in the U.S. by Naxos of America. All 30 CDs are complete works, not selections. To be eligible all you need do is be one of the AUDIOPHILE AUDITION readers who register here on the site this month.
 

Here are the dozen lucky readers who won the pair of instructive Michael Fremer DVDs in last month’s drawing: 21st Century Vinyl, and It’s a Vinyl World, After All =

AUDIOPHILE AUDITION began in 1985 as a weekly national radio series hosted by John Sunier, which aired for 13 1/2 years on up to 200 public radio and commercial stations coast to coast. In September 1998 its site for programming information was expanded to the present Net publication.
 
April 09 is our 122nd issue, and we’re publishing more and more disc reviews each month All of them – over 100 per month – are added throughout the month as they are written and received, usually on a daily basis. We have organized the web site to make it easy to navigate and find content. The most recent reviews appear at the top of each Section Index. The Home Page lists the five latest published reviews, the Section Index lists the past two months of reviews, the Archive goes back to June 1, 2005, and for all reviews by month prior to that you need to click on the Old Archive, which goes back to 2001. The Disc Index lists all past reviews.
