First reactions to our first postings, from Nathan Sivin, Margaret Barringer, Clayton Scott, Kit Feldman and Joan Rosen. Plus a more recent reaction from Patrick Hazard

     I have just finished reading the current issue of your new venture. It’s the most interesting online periodical I have read in a long time, and its local appeal is only one of its attractions. The piece on the Barnes fiasco was a real breakthrough, and I was delighted to read the retrospect of Bernard Jacobson, a close friend, on Philadelphia musical institutions. Nicely done!

     Congratulations! This is wonderful, elegant, respectful, informative and inspiring! Thank you for all the work you have done to bring it into our lives. I look forward to keeping up with insider’s information from the Broad Street Review in a way now lost to us from other news providers.

     This is great!  I particularly enjoyed Dan Coren?s article on Christoph Eschenbach and the article by Daniel Webster on ?Opera Confronts the Survival Question.? This last article I have printed out.

     I found your review of Munich quite interesting (perhaps enough to dissuade me from seeing it) and your remembrance of Nancy Sweeten quite touching.

     Thanks for a great site, especially useful to a non-subscriber to the Inquirer. You’ve done a terrific job.

Alan Halpern’s PR obit

     
My daughter Catherine told me about the Broad Street Review, and I hurried off to the local FLOP to take a taste. I started with the editor’s PR obit of Alan Halpern. First class opening.
