New Audio Adventures

Today I've posted a new DCD Classical 'Cast podcast. To the left is the new artwork for the podcast, which is (IMHO) a little more dynamic than just using our logo.

We're also in the process of creating enhanced podcasts. If you're not familiar with the format, it's an audio podcast with chapters. Each chapter can have a different image, and a hotlink as well.

For our podcasts, it means you'll be able to see the album cover of each work as it starts, and click on the image to go to our website for additional information -- or to purchase it if you're so inclined.

I hope to have the enhanced version available by next week. The podcast itself is done -- I just have to build the infrastructure for the feed.

An unusual debut

Normally, a young classical tenor's first album will be a recital of their core repertoire. After a few albums of opera arias, the artist may eventually release a "crossover" disc of popular music.
New England-based Stanley Wilson cuts to the chase. His first release from Con Brio is a collection of Cole Porter songs.

It's a smart move. His clear tenor shines on these selections, and he stands a chance of connecting with a much larger audience right out of the box. In the works is a follow-up disc of lieder, which we're also looking forward to.

Check out this sample from this unusual debut album.
