Recently one MIDI file from kunstderfuge.com, and... played by me, has been posted as a demo for the organ samples produced by the OrganArtMedia a German house.

This is just another success after the 2005 collaboration with the other sample house, the Milan Digital Audio.

As you may know, last January we put online a free album, the OnClassical collection, which includes our best recordings for each instrument (piano, violin, harpsichord, and choir...). Even if our full-quality catalogue (in .wav files - not the previews of course) is covered by the traditional copyright, this unique album has been totally covered by the Creative Commons BY-NC-SA here included the master-files in .wav format. This CD has also been printed in 1000 copies. You may request a copy of the CD at 8 euros (+ shipping) to us directly at:

However since we have not already published the full tracks on the website we thought it would be nice to have the tracks in good mp3 quality (and .wav quality too) on some free sites and we choose Jamendo, Jamglue and last.fm. On Jamendo you may download our music at a very good quality (192 kbps min.) In our humble opinion, this is a very cool site where "artists allow anyone to download and share their music". The second site - Jamglue - is more recent (born in 2006) and is intended as a point of reference for whoever wants to mix (pop and disco) music. Maybe our classical music does not fit in so well here not fit in so well here, but we thought we'd give it a go. These two sites use Creative Commons in their business plan. Finally last.fm is a web radio that "tracks what you listen to, learns what you like, gives you personal top charts and new music to discover".

For last we remind you that you may put all our previews, without further permissions, on other free websites, P2Ps, webradios, personal page... just remember to quote us and the artists with a link to their page at onclassical.com.

Below: Francesco M. Geminiani- Allegro in F major; the file is a 192 kbps of c. 4 mbytes in size: it will takes some minutes to download.
