I don't have much desire for ten page reviews of a recording, so the
reviews by Steve Schwartz are about as long as I can handle. Conversely,
I want more than a few blurbs that Penguin provides; I want a narrative
that has some potential to give me a little insight.
I keep buying Fanfare, ARG, Classic CD, and Gramophone. Each of them gives
me insight. I might start up again with BBC Music Magazine; those attached
cds of complete works do entice me. I keep each magazine for about 2
years, then trash it. That might sound like not the best way to go, but
I have enough trouble finding space for cds.
Also, I'm the opposite of a pack rat. At work, whenever my waste basket
is close to full, I find my assistant going through it. She's convinced
that I throw everything away regardless of its significance. I've told her
that she just might find some day that her hands are loaded with some evil
substance, but she's a dedicated type. I can easily live with that. At
least she doesn't eat from the waste basket (although I'm not sure).
