Before the creation of rec.music.classical.recordings, I recall there was some
debate about the number of postings that talked about recordings of classical
music on rec.music.classical. So, now that the "recordings" newsgroup has been
going strong for several years, I guess what's left to post about in
rec.music.classical are all those topics that *aren't* somehow related to
recordings (although, ironically, that is how so many of us experience the
music. I know I myself have not been to a live music event in years.)
There is a rec.music.makers newsgroup for musicians, so I guess
rec.music.classical would mainly consist of postings about the make-up of the
music itself -- it's history, form, structure, theory, etc. -- and various live
concerts and recitals.
If your interest is more in sorting through the best or worst recordings of
various pieces, then this is probably the group to stick with.
