They don't have to design and burn the CDs, have them put in sleeves, mailed out, etc. I see why they'd be desirable for lots of people, though.Lisa Hirschhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14014924958428072675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8957911.post-18273037789027580872008-04-09T11:29:00.000-07:002008-04-09T11:29:00.000-07:00It is convenient, but for those who can't listen o...It is convenient, but for those who can't listen on line (because they're at work, have a slow connection, or whatever) CDs are very desirable -- I wish both versions were available. It looks as if they figure "download" is the new big thing so they're cutting out other means.Patrick J.

In this case, I didn't have to pay and didn't have to order or wait for a CD to arrive.Lisa Hirschhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14014924958428072675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8957911.post-74951238348602774472008-04-09T08:46:00.000-07:002008-04-09T08:46:00.000-07:00On-line seems to be the only way to hear the recor...On-line seems to be the only way to hear the recording . . . am I way out of it (always possible), or does anyone else not like/have trouble listening to pieces over the computer?

Great piece, and while it doesn't sound like any particular phrase is especially difficult, it is very long for an a capella piece with solo voices. Kudos to those wonderful singers.<BR/><BR/>I got most of the way into the recording and had to pause it, then could not successfully restart it. I'll listen through the whole thing another time.Lisa Hirschhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14014924958428072675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8957911.post-8059399138220514582008-04-08T12:33:00.000-07:002008-04-08T12:33:00.000-07:00It's quite marvelous, isn't it!

I haven't revisited the recording on Carnegie's site yet, but I was in the audience for the premiere, and found it quite touching.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
