Okay, I am officially P.O.'d. at ArchivMusic. I signed up to get their emails, and get them all of the time. Yet, I got nary a word from them about the following
freebie and had to find out from a third party about it.
Well, I guess that I should be glad that I
did, at least, find out about it. And, it is a great offer.
Here's the deal. First of all, it's not completely free, if you count the 2 minutes or so that you have to spend completing a survey.
The
free album comes from Naxos publishing (the dedicated Naxos webpage for the album is
here). It is
Rossini, G.: Overtures (Complete), Vol. 4 (Prague Sinforia, Benda [that means that Prague Sinforia performsand someone named Benda directs, G}). You may notice that among the pieces on the album is the popular
Barber of Seville (made famous and popular by that Bugs Bunny cartoon with it in it, no doubt. ha. That cartoon was soooooo funny! But, I digress.)!
Also, check this out. You can get the album in either MP3 or FLAC (Now, why would someone choose the MP3 album, if they could get the FLAC? Come to think of it, I can think of one reason. But, I digress, again.)!
Here's the simple process to get the
free album. Navigate to
this website. Complete the easy survey. After you do, click on "submit," or something like that. The next webpage will ask you for your email address so that they can send you a link to the album.
Does anyone besides me feel like they're making off like a bandit getting this
free deal?
