I echo that last comment especially!

I think regards the question "why?" it's already been answered on the whole but if you consider the goal of 45Cat and 45Worlds to create a complete record of recorded media, it had become clear that the existing model was not a good fit for the Classical genre. It's a unique field of music in the way it is presented and catalogued, and attempting to shoehorn it into the other Worlds was never going to work effectively because of the need to have a level of detail that no other type of music requires.

Like many on here I am no classical buff (though I do have a meagre collection) but I am really looking forward to seeing the new World grow, and hopefully learning something as it does!

I think it is a fascinating area and I hope the 45Worlds community give it their support.

And to re-iterate, we really could do with a few classical experts/enthusiasts/collectors to join in if anyone knows anyone that fits the bill...
