I generally don’t listen to classical music, but I like this CD. I guess Mozart has survived all these years for a reason! It’s very uplifting to have on in the background. I’ve heard most of the music before, but usually in cheesy comercials. Sad. This is really beautiful music.
How do I link up my keyboards for midi?
Please help! I am a total novice to using MIDII have played keyboards for many years using a multiple keyboard setup, but have never used the midi facilities on the premise that if I can't play it live of my own ability I won't play it at all as I have always considered using tapes or any other form of recorded music as cheating. However, I have reached a point where I want to be able to use Midi, both in a live situation and in my home recording setup.My keyboard setup is mostly antique and largely cheap and cheerful but the band I play in has a very retro sound. I use:Yamaha DX7Yamaha YS 200Yamaha TQ 5 which I use purely as a sound module. (Don't know how to use steinberg Usb it as a sequencer and have never bothered to work out how to!)Yamaha KX 5 (linked up to the TQ 5 & DX 7)2 X Yamaha PSR E313Moog ProdigyMinimoogRoland SH101 (1st generation original 1970's)Roland FP 4 Stage Piano (my newest baby)Roland TD 5 Electronic drum kitMy recording facilities are:Boss BR600 Digital Recorder (Brilliant piece of kit)Sony ACID Music Studio 7.0 (only just bought it, therefore haven't figured it out yet)Steinberg Cubase SL/SX2 (had it about 2 years but never used it. Bought it from a mate who upgraded. Don't really understand it as it came without instructions)How do I link these keyboards up to my computer to enable Midi recording using ACID or Cubase, (if I ever find the user manual). I know that the FP 4 can connect using USB to USB cable and I have a Midi to USB adapter, but I don't know how to link up the other Midi keyboards or appliances to enable me to use my software programs effectively as either a sequencer or a recording studio.I want to use my computer as a sequencer for solo live performance as I have composed a full electronic music set, (similar in style to Jean-Michele Jarre, but more up to date), which I want to be able to play live using one or two of the keyboards (and the monosynths which are not Midi compatible anyway), while the sequencer plays the other keyboards and the drums as an accompaniment or complimentary performance. How would I achieve this?

William Steinberg’s Pittsburgh Symphony recordings have been largely ignored by the record industry in recent years. He recorded all 9 Beethoven and 4 Brahms Symphonies for Command Classics in the 1960s, later released on MCA CDs in the late 1980s. For EMI, Steinberg/Pittsburgh recorded Beethoven Symphonies 7,8; Brahms 1; Mozart 35,40,41; Haydn 94. This is great, very masculine Mozart, in fast tempos that are never out of control, and beautifully recorded by EMI’s engineers. Tempos are faster than Bruno Walter’s Columbia recordings
(CBS, made in the late 1950s, near the end of his career) and slower than Szell/Cleveland (Sony Classical) for a point of reference.
Both Mozart’s Symphony 40 and “Eine Kleine Nachtmusik” benefit from Steinberg’s full throated treatment.
Sir Colin Davis’ early 1960s recordings of “Serenata Notturna” and Overtures to “Abduction from the Seraglio,” “The Magic Flute,” “Don Giovanni” and “Cosi fan Tutte” are in excellent sound, the Philharmonia (Serenata) and Royal Philharmonic (Overtures) sounding terrific, again rich, full and masculine, as in Steinberg’s recordings.
With over 70 minutes of music, this disc is a winner, unless you are a fan of chamber orchestra or period instrument orchestra Mozart. For great sound and playing at a budget price, this is hard to beat.

The original EMI Seraphim budget CD line has to be the greatest value for the money in the history of music. For half the price of other so-called budget lines, including the new version of EMI Seraphim and the Sony Essential Classics series, you get first-rate performances from the golden age of stereo by some of the greatest conductors of the century. On this particular title you get brilliant performances of Mozart’s 40th Symphony and Eine Kleine Nachtmusik by William Steinberg and the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra from 1958. Steinberg is an immense conductor and I have spent considerable time (and sometimes money) tracking down his great EMI recordings, which have been reissued on CD in recent years only to be deleted at an alarming rate. The remainder of this disc features Colin Davis conducting the Philharmonia and Royal Philharmonic Orchestras in Mozart’s Serenata Notturna and various Overtures from 1961-62. Most are familiar with Davis’ great recordings from the 1970s to the present, but his early recordings are a real treat. Well, with all this great music, you’ve got a classic disc at any price.
