BartK I am going to carry on with the recitals at Piano World as long as l can and as long as there is interest. So, yes, go ahead with the poll. The themed Recitals and ABF quarterly recitals will continue at Piano World.
Which is not to say that we can't also do recitals over here. I corresponded with Navindra about it several days ago. My idea was that if it is possible to schedule a time for a post to go public, then we could announce the recital and start a thread for it with instructions in the first post and the deadline for everyone to use. The performers each make a post with their recording and comments, scheduled to go live at the deadline. Then we can have the feel of an online recital, with lots of things to listen to and comment on. And there is considerably less for a recital admin to do.
As far as uploading and storing recordings, I don't think that is necessary. It is something we did at PianoWorld to avoid dead links - the recordings now take about 47 Gig for 18 years of recitals! Treat the recital like a live one, and have the performers pledge to keep their recordings live for a month, after that, it is history.
As far as Gombessa participating in the recital - anyone can participate - you don't need an account at PW. But unless you have an account, you cannot comment.
