For example, I'm going to review a recording of the Beethoven and Britten violin concertos by Janine Jansen. I haven't decided yet whether I will present CD or concert reviews as part of the ongoing blog or put them in their own locations somewhere else. If I choose the latter, I'll still have to figure out how to do it, whether to include graphics and so on. Still, I have to get started in the next week or so, perhaps adjusting the presentation as I go along.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/657352297178836195-5747297530452391738?l=opuspocusblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Richardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09851280495001404365noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-657352297178836195.post-86460152342834158732009-11-21T21:19:00.000-08:002009-11-21T21:19:00.502-08:00As you may know, I ran a magazine-style web page for a number of years. It had the same name as this blog. I had to give it up because my helpers came and went and because I made a mistake in the settings of the program I was using. This utterly scrambled the hundreds of files of which my pages were made and, despite many attempts to sort things out, I found myself completely over my head.<br /><br />So now I'm relaunching on a more modest footing. I'll try to ressurect the best articles and reviews from the old site, provide new reviews now and then, especially of recordings, and fill as best I may the void that <span style="font-style: italic;">Opus Pocus</span> has left. Four years after publication stopped, I still get asked when I'm going to bring it back. So stick with me here and I'll have a blog worth following in the near future.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/657352297178836195-8646015234283415873?l=opuspocusblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Richardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09851280495001404365noreply@blogger.com1
