The modern repertoire obviously requires better representation then it is currently receiving. To that end, I am looking for volunteers to write short biographies and recommend specific recordings for those composers who are not currently well-represented. All contributions will be credited. Recommended repertoire is also up for discussion. If you have specific interest in this music or these composers and would like to help, please send your contribution (bio, recommended recordings, etc.) to my email address.
Thanks,
Dave Lampson <webmaster@classical.net>
