A multi-year project to catalog and digitally preserve the Monterey Jazz Festival Collection at Stanford's Archive of Recorded Sound is now complete.

This video of a recital given in conjunction with a Stanford Continuing Studies class on Emily Dickinson's life was posted yesterday on YouTube. The pianist, Steve Winterstein, and his lovely assistant Sally Treadway, worked in the Music Library last year organizing and inventorying materials in the Kronos Quartet Collection.

The latest free download from Classical Music Library is:

Weber's Piano Sonata No. 2 in A flat major, Op. 39

arranged for flute and piano; performed by Alexis Golovin, piano, and Benoit Fromanger, flute.
