Author Topic: Help with media website, please! Michael Schaffer "Where is the Boardwalk Hotel?" Posts: 4143 From: Boston, MA Registered: Apr 2002 posted 09-06-2004 10:04 PM                        This website offers recordings from the Netherlands Radio: http://www.avroklassiek.nl/luisterkamer/zoc_eerder.asp However, clicking on any of the links ("klik hier voor breedband"=click here for broadband) only produces an error message "illegal address" in Opera and IE. I tried different media settings, but nothing worked What am I doing wrong?  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 09-06-2004 10:28 PM                     Michael, I think this is a server problem of some sort at their end. Can you e-mail them and let them know that nothings available from their site? I don't speak their language but they do have some nice selections there! Mark  |  IP: Logged Jennifer Pan THE JEN! Posts: 1219 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: Nov 2003 posted 09-06-2004 11:06 PM                        Hmm... I believe there's something wrong with how they are linking the streaming audio files. But the audio does work. When I cut and pasted the links so I could listen to them on Windows Media Player they worked fine. For example, when you checkout the url link... copy the address between the [...] The 2nd link was to: Klik hier om te luisteren in breedband en smalband is at this link: mms://media.omroep.nl/avro/klassiek/zoc/zoc_010325.wma I'm probably not making any sense . I guess just e-mail me if you need more help. BTW... Cool stuff... I can play this in my car and turn up the bass  |  IP: Logged Michael Schaffer "Where is the Boardwalk Hotel?"

I had tried the same thing with removing the square brackets and pasting it in the browser's address bar, but it didn't work. The audio stream is still annoyingly interrupted from time to time, but that is obviously a bandwidth problem. The selection that I was most interested in was the 5th from the bottom, Bruckner's 7th symphony. There are tons of recordings of this symphony easily available, but I wanted to hear this broadcast because it is music from the late 19th century, but here conducted by a musician who is mostly known as a specialist for older repertoire (18th century and before). In the classical music world, there are different approaches to interpretation, the "mainstream" which plays everything just the same way, and historical performance specialists who research and try to recreate the way music was maybe played in different epochs. In any case, if you are interested in and open to great musical experiences, this is not a bad place to start - Bruckner was one of the most interesting and exciting composers of large-scale symphonies.  |  IP: Logged Leo Enticknap Film God Posts: 7474 From: Loma Linda, CA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 09-07-2004 06:02 AM                        A bit taxing on the attention span, perhaps (the 30-minute third movement of the eighth symphony comes to mind!), but I do like symphonies 4 and 8. The only version of 7 I know is one from an LP of Bruno Walter conducting the Columbia SO in the late '50s, which I haven't listened to for ages. Might give the online recording to try in the very unlikely event of having 70 minutes or so to spare in the near future...  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 09-07-2004 07:57 AM                     Thats interesting as Sir George Solti was in the process of recording all of Bruckners important works when he passed on. I don't know if got the 7th recorded or not......

Posts: 4143 From: Boston, MA Registered: Apr 2002 posted 09-07-2004 05:37 PM                        Mark - yes, he recorded all 9 symphonies. He recorded the 7th twice, in the 60s with the Vienna Philharmonic and in the 80s with the Chicago Symphony. Leo - that's a completely idiotic comment, I am surprised to see that from you of all people.  |  IP: Logged William Hooper Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1879 From: Mobile, AL USA Registered: Jun 99 posted 09-08-2004 06:38 AM                        None of those problems on this Medea Website. http://www.gpc.edu/~shale/humanities/literature/world_literature/medea.html It's probably a problem that could be solved easily with a spell checker.  |  IP: Logged
