New Music Videos on CT
Today we've launched an exciting new section to the site which allows you to video footage of contemporary composers as found on youtube - there's a surprisingly large amount of footage there, and most reasonably well-known composers will have one or two pieces filmed, as well as some fascinating interviews.
We hope this provides a valuable service of pulling all these videos into one easy to browse place- simply click on our composer database and browse to the relevant composer page to see which videos are available.
