Dear All:

A very nice list.  Perhaps you would like to send to your neighbor down south in Michigan, USA?  Would Peter like to post the tracks for download?  There may be some legal issues with the latter.  

Whatever happened to sharing your bought music for no-profit with friends?

Thanks for the list & initiative.

 Hi André, interesting!

Could you give an indication of what it is each track is supposed to reveal - what we're supposed to listen for?

The best  Test-CD I've ever come across is No. 3 from Burmester:

Selections:
1. A Time For Love - Melissa Walker -- Female voice, good perspective and "depth" - intimacy and detail in voice.

2. Paganini's Sonata Concertata - Gil Shaham -- demanding work with violin and guitar. Fingerwork, details, placement of instruments.

3. Early One Morning - John Lee Hooker  -- Rhythm, timing of instruments, hall, male voice "at distance", drum accompaniment

4. It's The Talk Of The Town - Bennie Wallace -- intimate saxophone, details in voicing of instrument, overtones, electrical guitar details

5. Sonata in G-Dur - Rossini  -- chamber orchestra intimacy and detailing, placement of instruments, no strings moving about ...

6. The Planet - Hans Theesink -- gritty, supergritty male voice close miked, details, chorus definition with male lead singer

7. Allegro Molto - Rimsky-Korsakov  -- full orchestra piece, details and dynamics

8. Orgelwerke von Bach - Hans-Jurgen Schnoor -- low bass precision and projection, definition of church space

9. Stimela - Hugh Masekela  -- backing chorus details, timing of instruments, voice qualities, live audience participation

10. Poem Of Chinese Drums - Yim Hok-Man  -- sheer percussion cussedness. Timing of loudspeaker elements

There will indeed be a problem (cetainly we shouldn't condone illegal copying and distribution of music on site). Having said that, well done for compiling the list - it allows others to obtain the tracks legally, either from CD or from online download sites such as Amazon, iTunes etc. In fact, in iTunes, you can publish an iMix which groups all the tracks in an album style, making it easy for those who may want to download it. As an example here is the LINK to a Beoworld Compilation iMix from last September - Sorry, you can't view it if you don't have iTunes.

A picture showing the result is shown below

Sorry to be boring but I have to post this. Beoworld cannot condone any illegal copying or distribution of copyright material.

What members do off site is clearly up to them though - this includes personal massaging!
