Why We Watch Other People's Blogs (or: More Opera Online)

radio alert: agrippina! ...from thadieu's opera rambling outlet

Händel’s Agrippina will be broadcast tomorrow from the Gran Teatre del Liceu, with a basic who's who of early music: Sarah Connolly, Malena Ernman, Danielle De Niese, Franz-Josef Selig, David Daniels, Ian Henry Waddington, Dominique Visse, and Enric Martínez-Castignani conducted by Harry Bicket.

Tha deiu flagged this broadcast for us at World Concert Hall, which boasts: "every online concert in this world." This may be a bit of hyperbole; but,  if not every concert, they sure do have a lot of concerts, and they provide handy links directly to the programs. They don't archive performances, but as often happens on the internet, you can find the source of the broadcast, and discover what other pleasures are available from that same station. 

For example: Agrippina is being broadcast by Catalunya Musica, a Spanish radio station that archives many of its broadcasts. Among those archives, I found a replay of this year's Edinburgh recital by Dorothea Röschmann and a recital by Angela Meade, among many other instrumental and vocal gems. 

World Concert Hall also has a great (and pretty thorough) listing of classical music station websites from around the world at their Channels page. More online music! Who needs to work or sleep?
