Music Library 24/7

Berliner Philharmoniker Logo
January 20, 2017

The Music Library subscribes to many databases that bring full-text books and articles, streaming audio, and streaming video to your computer, anywhere in the world, 24/7. 

Berliner Philharmoniker Digital Concert Hall [1] is available once again to Yale students, faculty, and staff.  Access is by IP address: Yale users must connect first from on campus or through VPN and create a login.  Once registered, Yale users can login from anywhere on supported devices and apps, which include iOS and Android smartphones and tablets. 

medici.tv [2] has a monthly newsletter [3] of new offerings.  Subscribe by writing to medici.tv [4]. Newly added recordings include Arthur Rubinstein performing Chopin from 1968 and a master class with William Christie and Paul Agnew. The latest live broadcast was of the premiere of Mark-Anthony Turnage’s Remembering, performed by the London Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Sir Simon Rattle.

Met Opera on Demand [5] has recently added some classic performances:  Richard Strauss’s Der Rosenkavalier from 1982, with Kiri Te Kanawa, Tatiana Troyanos, Judith Blegen, Kurt Moll and Luciano Pavarotti, directed by James Levine; and two radio performances of Beethoven’s Fidelio (1993) and Verdi’s I Vespri Siciliani (2004).

The library has a trial subscription through February 3rd to Routledge Handbooks Online [8], including 557 book chapters pertaining to music.  Please explore and send any comments you have about this database to Suzanne [9] or Jonathan [10].

The library has recently subscribed to The Economist [11], Drama Online [12], Kanopy Streaming Video Service [13] of feature films and documentaries, and the complete content of 19th Century Masterfile [14] with details on more than 20 million documents and 6500 periodicals, including arts titles. The index entries include links to full-text documents in HathiTrust and American Memory.

Finally, Ebrary has a new name and new links: ProQuest Ebook Central [15].  For updated links, search for ebooks in Orbis [16] or Quicksearch [17].
