Nice mention in The New Yorker!

I think it's wonderful that you post all these links. Grazie! However, often there is a lot of stuff and it can take a while to read it. I would find it very helpful if you broke it down into categories, such as: (1) video vs. audio, (2) opera, orchestral, chamber, solo instrumental (3) Renaissance, Baroque, Classical. That would make it easier for me to scan it to see if there's something I want to watch or listen to.
