Does anyone have music websites to share?

Interesting site (and collection), but I noticed a few errors straight away - just browsing under "Orchestral & Instrumental", for example: Malcolm Arnold died in 2006 (you've got him still alive), JC Bach wrote 6 symphonies op.3 (you've got them under JS), it's Ernst von Dohnányi's (1877-1960) Piano Concerto in E minor, not Hans's (Hans was his son, and the well-known Resistance fighter), Dvorák's 9th symphony (not his 5th) is "From the New World" etc.

   I regularly post at the good music guide forum,and it's well worth trying. Another excellent forum of which I'm a member is classicalmusicguide.com .  My own blog on classical music, called simply The Horn,an instrument I used to play freelance,is at the website blogiversity.org, which has blogs on a wide variety of topics.

  I cover classical music for the site, and I always try to provide information about this subject for newcomers and explain it too them.I cover current events in the field, a wide variety of famous composers and their works,orchestral music,opera, etc, music history,and much more.  You can easily access it from the home page.

This can be interesting, sometimes get the feeling the reviewer don't quite have the same level of experience as the Gramophone guys:

This one is interesting for their interest in rubbishing any cds that Gramophone/UK reviewers seem to like! (as an impartial Irishman, the psychology is interesting). Simon Rattle and the BPO seem to bring out a particularly strong grudge. My guess is there is quite a bit of jealousy that the top European orchestras are well represented by the 'big' record labels, and many of the great American orchestras not so much:

I wouldn't describe it as jealousy so much as an urge to redress the balance. As I've said elswhere on this site, every country has a national bias. The U.S. and the U.K. are no exception. The main orchestral reviewer, David Hurwitz is no fan of Rattle, and backs up his criticisms with references to scores. He isn't alone in his dislike of Sir Simon's gratuitous underlinings and gear-changes. He has also, on occasion, praised particular Rattle recordings highly. Levine is a reliable opera dvd reviewer, an area to which I'd like to see Gramophone apply more focus. And the gentleman who reviews choral works, I forget his name, is constant and generous in his praise of English choral standards.

At the same time Gramophone's attention to non-British music and music-making, especially the American scene, has improved out of sight in the years I've been taking the magazine and the even-handed, even warm, treatment of artists like Fleming, DiDonato and Hahn is very gratifying.

I think a post I made has been deleted too!

Ah well, only famous for 10 minutes.
