Was here just today. A really great selection! Some fringe repertoire that one would not find elsewhere that is either out of print or not standard stuff.
However I did not find what I was looking for- no fault of the shop.
Some of the music is oddly sorted though. Why is excerpts from Mussorgskys opera Boris Godunov among the mostly oratorio section? This was confusing.
Maybe if I looked harder then I'd have found the Lorenzo Perosi's 'Il Giudizio Universale', but I think that was a lost cause. A database would help, however cataloging that huge and wonderful collection would be a mammoth task nearing impossible.
Thank you for having me today! Keep up the good work.
