How do I Love Thee? Let me Count the Ways (Recorded Music in the Whittaker Library)

We're a conservatoire music library, so naturally you'd expect us to have recordings.  And how! We have thousands of CDs, a lot of  LPs (just to broaden the coverage), and then there are our streamed music services.

CDs and LPs are all in our catalogue. Click here.  Remember, you can limit your search to recordings.  Recently we've been checking our LP holdings against our CDs and streamed services.  Over the past decade, it's impressive just how many older recordings have become available on CD or online. 

You can find all our streamed musical goodness on our Library and Information Services website.  Click here for departmental website.  Click here for databases.

British Library Sounds

There's streamed video, too.  You'll find it all on the links above.

'How do I Love Thee? Let me Count the Ways', is a Shakespeare sonnet.  You want Shakespeare sonnets?  Try the British Library Sound and Moving Image Catalogue.

Past and Present Performance Practitioners

Routledge Performance Archive Trial

"The Routledge Performance Archive is a developing resource produced in partnership with Digital Theatre, providing unique access to an unprecedented range of audio-visual material from past and present practitioners of performance.
This ground-breaking and constantly growing online collection delivers essential resources direct to the classroom, lecture theatre and library.
The video material spans more than fifty years of documented work direct from renowned practitioners and specialists, and ranges across the entire spectrum of theatre topics."

Our proactive Drama and Dance Librarian has organised a free trial of Routledge Performance Archive, until 22 December 2012.  Royal Conservatoire Staff and Students can request the login details from our Library Staff.  

Let us know what you think of this resource! 

Visit http://www.routledgeperformancearchive.com/ to gain online access.

If you have any problems, comments or suggestions please do not hesitate to contact Alan Jones.
