Armidale City library has an astonishing collection of CDs for loan - hundreds, if not thousands of them. I've just returned with 6 borrowed CDs comprising:
* the hits of 1190 - works by that household name, Perotin (whose name translates via Latin into the French Pierre);
* two symphonies by Joachim Raff (1822-1882);
* three works by Christopher Rouse (born 1949 - he's a little younger than I am!);
* Satie's Gymnopedies;
* songs and walzes of Vienna (more conventional); and
* a bizarre disc of Lute Music written by that well-known composer and Lutenist, Lord Herbert of Cherbury (1583-1648).
Few small town libraries anywhere in the world would be able to offer that kind of choice!
