St. Paul Chamber Orchestra
The St. Paul Chamber Orchestra http://www.thespco.org/ has one of the richest online archives of any American orchestra. They have now put 150 of their recent concert recordings – going back to 2007 – online. Moving a step ahead of many American orchestras, SPCO's archive is searchable by artist, conductor, or composer. On the SPCO website, select "Listening Library." According to an article in this month's Listen magazine http://www.listenmusicmag.com/, SPCO has also received a grant to preserve and restore their concert recordings going back to 1969. I look forward with great anticipation to hearing some of the older concerts which feature artists who are no longer with us.
