Pardon my many deletions ... I hope I got the general idea. I have already discussed this a bit with Martin... First of all, if it were only ONE cd a month that we were compelled to buy, at a Naxos price, I'd say Rah Rah. But if it were four a month and I had never heard of any of the composers I would want a little more for my money and commmittment: I would AT THE VERY LEAST expect a blurb describing the composer and the piece, in advance, so I'd at least have a rough idea of what to expect. I would want there to be ALTERNATE choices... I could agree to buy so many per year for my membership price, but not agree to buy every single cd unless I was really enchanted by the blurbs and/or I would also hope that there would be a website available to play short sections of each piece, the way Amazon does at their US website.
