I thought that listers might be interested in what the outside world thinks
of CLASSICAL NET.  This is from the March, 1999 issue of "Choice: current
reviews for academic libraries":

    `Undergraduates should be urged to explore Web sites as an additional
    "library" of information.  _Classical Net_ covers all aspects of
    classical music through an enormous network of commercial and
    noncommerical links.  Under general classical the explorer will
    find genres and singers, composers from Back to Cage, performers,
    period links, geographical guides to instrumental music, FAQs, and
    e-mail manners suggestions - and lots of help for the novice.  Or
    one can get to Naxos, a producer of budget CDs, with its real audio
    clips (Windows only) and excellent introduction to classical music,
    which could supplement and text.  Esoterica include discussion of
    fractal music that leads to some communications on music and DNA.
    Work lists for composers are useful, although the interruption of
    the GeoCities commercial in the middle of the Monteverdi works list
    is disconcerting.  The link to music books goes to "Amazon.com", a
    complicated way to get to a good but commerical listing.  Some
    updating is needed, and netscape alerts, shutdowns,and sites not
    found need correction.  Navigation is easy and direct, and such
    sites as "The Virtual Opera House" <http://www.opera.co.za> will
    please those students who find them.
