Cello Podcast – Magnatune
Magnatune is reknowned for partnering with independent musicians to help promote and sell their music. Their site is chock a block with albums that you can listen to for free. They cover all genres, not just the classical sphere – there is new age, rock, electronica, world, etc. As part of their outreach initiatives, Magnatune publish a host of weekly podcasts that are essentially 60 minute mixtapes of their best material. This is essentially fine music on tap.
The Cello Podcast here is just outstanding. Tracks are encoded at a very acceptable 128kps, and are fairly inter-ruption free – there is the occasional identifying tag of ‘Magnatune’ but that is all. There are some sites out there that are truly holding their hand out in a spirit of giving, and this is one of them. Altruism in full play. Well done guys.
