I have to commend Morten and everyone at 2L for their very excellent SACD recordings, as well as their excellent promtions! Thanks again, Morten!

Are there any reviewers at SA-CD.net interested in promotional copies of these SACD releases? Send us a note at music@2L.no

I guess this is for the "official reviewers" right Morten?

I would say everyone that has a history of actually writing reviews is invited. A few words about why I have chosen these four titles: Every magazine and newspaper wants to write about MOZART and BARTOK. But there is so much more music that deserves a voice ...

You make it sound like a congenital mental disease, but mea culpa. I've been listening to a lot of Enescu lately, and the Strauss sounds relatively interesting (I detest Ein Heldensleben). So I'm game for a few evenings of listening to and writing about 2L34SACD (e-mail sent).

You'r definitely infected with the right mentality, Beagle :-)
STRAUSS/ENESCU is shipping Monday morning - Enjoy the music!

Am I the only one who is not entirely comfortable with record company executives using this site to promote their own products?

That's a fair question. I'm aware that I used the word "promotional" in the heading for this posting, but "motivation" is a more accurate description of my intent. The truth is that we can trace less than 10 sold copies of each title back to SA-CD.net. The real value of these postings and reviews is that we can go back to the musicians and say: "Look, there's someone REALLY listening and caring for what you do. Let's make another recording. Let's make it even better than the previous one!"

If this makes you feel exploited by us as a commercial record company; please let me know and I'll limit my activity on SA-CD.net

No you are not.however if it promotes the sacd cause so be it.
I bought my two 2L discs via seperate ebay purchases that would not show up as an sacd link/ I am not tempted by free discs on music that has possibly little interest and would suggest that the rep of 2L is too obscure for the mainstream.I do have 3 Lps of Enescous music including the 3 suites and would suggest they look at what they are releasing as sacds to a very limited customer base.

To Lindberg:

I´m probably over sensitive. And I don´t feel exploited by you or any other record company, I review records for a living. I humbly withdraw my previous statement. I think it is generous of you to give away free copies.

Now, any chance of a Fartein Valen Violin Concerto? I love that piece and it has been a favorite of mine since Philips released it on LP with Tellefsen.
