censorship

I was just looking for versions of the Vivaldi Gloria on the iTunes Music Store, to compare soloists for my part. And I noticed that the final movement on at least one recording has been carefully labeled "XI. C*m Sancto Spiritu". Because you know that Vivaldi, he was just doing it for shock value. This must be the radio-safe version. Good grief.

Which is as good a time as any to remind you all about the concert. This *Saturday* (not Sunday, as some people may think :), 4pm, big white church in Porter Square. Full details below. I do get a few comp tickets, if price is an issue for anyone.

It might not be censorship directly, but that some people have filters on their computers that don't allow them (or more to the point their kids) to have access to pages that have words like that on them, so they are trying to stay accessable, but removing key words that are commonly filtered.

gack.

I'd send some feedback to the iTunes folks, cause if I was searching for that movement, I wouldn't be tweaking it.

(wow, I love that Gloria... and it's *this* weekend, eh? hmmmmmm...)
