I’ve finished my somewhat quixotic effort of backing up my CD collection. (Or rather ours: most of them I bought, a few Liesl bought. Miranda’s are, alas, not backed up.) They’re all backed up both on-site and off-site, with the sole exception of Rongchun Zhao: Master of the Erhu. Which last is a pity, since it’s a rather good CD, and it doesn’t seem to be currently available anywhere. (Here’s a video of one of the songs.) Ah well; I’ll have to go out and buy another 8 or 9 CDs, at which point I’ll have an excuse to burn another DVD backup. In the meantime, that CD is stored (lossily) on the iPod in my pocket, so I’ll probably still have a copy if the house burns down.
The full list of artists is below; I’m happy with it. I’m not quite as big a Stravinsky fan as all that, I just have a big boxed set of performances of his music that he conducted, and Wagner only gets so high because I’m counting on a per-disc basis (15 = the Ring), but in general it’s not too misleading.
