Music & Vision -classical music daily from around the world
New Music Box - Monthly Web Music Magazine

This Wednesday morning "Classical Discoveries" paid a special 5 hour tribute to CRI (Composers Recordings Inc.). This record company released hundreds of recordings of American music and is in the process of closing down their doors after almost 50 years. However, all is not lost because New World Records will be taking over the CRI catalogue.
