Boston Symphony Offers Digital Music

AuthorJohn Gibbons DateWed, Dec 3, 08 at 05:43 Comments Off

Today the BSO became the latest musical institution to put historical performances online.

Starting with two pages of “broadcast archives” and other compilations, the initial digital library centers on a 12-album series dedicated BSO conductors from Koussevitsky to Ozawa, plus several prominent guest conductors.

Music is available in two quality levels (i.e. mp3 file sizes) and can be purchased by the album ($8.99 each), work, or track.
