And there is no editorial interference from the owner and chief advertiser, as far as I can tell.<br /><br />For their fall issue, I did a profile of one of the conductors that I adore but who is relatively unknown in North America--Laurence Equilbey, whose Orfeo you've been listening. I pitched, the editor replied, and so it went. <br /><br />About time some of our bands invited her to conduct here... COC? Glimmerglass? Some orchestra? My travel budget will get in some serious stretch-a-roo unless some invitations start flying across the ocean soon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3245314665139759027.post-63539981893514884632013-12-07T19:37:00.522-05:002013-12-07T19:37:00.522-05:00Yeah I guess that was pretty harsh, and if I were ...Yeah I guess that was pretty harsh, and if I were to review the magazine, I certainly wouldn't use that summary as the headline. I do appreciate that all the ads have SOMEthing to do with music -- it makes me much happier than Rolex and Lexus ads. I mean, these ads are for stuff I'd actually buy. <br /><br />And I DID read two other articles (the one about Beethoven and the online learning essay, which was amusing AND informative) and all the reviews last night. (I will get to the Wagner article tonight probably. :) <br /><br />I'm impressed that you're published there. I will have to go online and buy a copy, since that issue never found me... probably because I've moved twice in the past six months!<br /><br />So, I take back my harsh critique (and I know you were kind of teasing me.) As I observed above, the JK interview contains refreshingly new information, not simply the same old stuff rehashed. The interviewer actually asked thoughtful questions.<br /><br />Listen Magazine -- Read it! :)Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16322512607114908183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3245314665139759027.post-51789863951397258092013-12-07T14:53:19.560-05:002013-12-07T14:53:19.560-05:00You are very harsh, Rob.

The magazine has a decent advertizing to content ratio--and better in fact than many other magazines--and the articles tend to be good, often taking an unusual perspective or covering the topics not usually covered in other music magazines. Q&As are often more interesting than in, say, Gramophone or BBC Music Magazine. <br /><br />I have contributed to one issue -- this past one, with Yuja Wang -- and as far as the freelance writer experience goes, this one was among the better ones I had.<br /><br />But kudos to you for being a subscriber (even though the one who's not a reader--unless a favourite star is on the cover :).

It's really a big CD catalog with some articles, but I don't care. It's still an entertaining read.
