First- Can anyone recommend a more recent version (preferably in CD) of Debussy's Chanson de Bilitis and other songs? I have thectoria de los Angeles recording of a long time ago, and enjoy it, but time for a CD. Second- Since joining the list a couple of weeks ago, I have observed that 98% of communication is by men. I'm puzzled- are there many more men than women who like classical music? iS it just that men have grabbed onto another electronic toy, the internet, with more joyful vigor? (Doubt it, I belong to a dog breed list, and most respondents are women, and there are more on the early music list). Something to think about. Third- I'm amazed at the breadth of some respondents' collections. How do they finance this?? And after financing their collections, how do they have the time to really listen to it all? Surely not all can be independently wealthy- or made a killing in the market. Please let me in on the secret, if only regarding time management for music listening! Thanks. N Bunin
