what happened to your rss feed?
yes its not working since you switched your web design
Same problem: RSS feed has stopped working. Do you intend to reinstate it, or should I delete SD from my feed reader?
Give we back your Rss feed, please
Errrrr yes, the RSS feed is gone.
Is this by accident or design, Mr Lebrecht? It would be nice to know.
If by accident, then hopefully it can be fixed, and I can return to reading Slipped Disc along with all my other news feeds.
If by design, then let us all know, so we can rearrange the method by which we subscribe to your blog.
RSS is very convenient, and still hugely popular, if a little old fashioned (probably because it can’t easily be monetised.)
Perhaps this is why it has disappeared… But slippedisc.com doesn’t appear to have appeared on Apple News yet, so it doesn’t seem like monetisation is the reason…
Hopefully it’s just a mistake?
Not searchable either
Another vote for the RSS feed to return, please!
RSS please!
Glad to see I’m not the only one missing the RSS feed. I’ve tried emailing Mr. Lebrecht directly twice now, which has helped in the past, but no luck as of yet.
I have not gotten the Slipped Disc blog at all since October 11, 2018. What happened to it?
Just a note about the RSS feed, try https://slippedisc.com/feed/
thank you jim !!
That’s all right. Apparently there’s no longer a way to comment on recent articles, either.
i agree and complement you on your rules.My comments were not personal they were sharing the conversations i had with the directors of marketing and public relations for a major symphony.A large majority of young adults were interviewed as to why the did not attend classical concerts.There responses generated my comments.Sorry for any misunderstanding.
how does one establish a user id picture ?
Yes, Rss feed.
No longer able to tag an article to be notified when new comments are made.
I have to confess that I knew about Slipperdisc and Mr. Norman Lebrecht thanks to the appreciation he expressed to the Press Office of Teatro alla Scala. Thank you Mr. Lebrecht.

A pleasure to read your articles and reviews
Did anyone else see malware on this thing? Called emotet ?
Diva Gheorghiu recorded and filmed a beautiful Lord’s Prayer with fellow violonist Tomescu, filmed at the Romanian Atheneum… worth having a look and worth to be shared in these times, got me very emotional:

Hello. I unsubscribed to change my email address but now cannot see a way of resubscribing. Am I missing something? Thanks.
It is interesting that you have listed Andrew Amdur as a non opera singer. Does that make Andrea Bocceli, Paul Potts, Russel Watson or Katherine Jenkins non opera singers too based on the fact they do not sing in opera houses, but they sing at events and television. I also not the great tenor Mario Lanza was one of the great voices of the last century and does not appear to have sung in opera roles, but sings operatic roles as Andrew Amdur.

Hi Norman,
why can I no longer downvote crappy comments? Why can I no longer upvote others that I agree with?
Why can I no longer get mad, when an utterly stupid comment is overflowing with positive upvotes, or when an insightful comment is banished to downvotation-hell?
Why?
Is it technically no longer possible? Or is it an active decision?
Votes are back! Fantastic
The world is burning.Corona is taking Jobs from artists, but some countries have systems to cope with the problems. Thanks to taxes and a reasonable economic management orchestras in Norway are supported even now. Norway is governened by a party simular to the republicans «over there». For them this is socialism. Well I am not impressed by the level of knowledge of other countries in USA. Perhaps that is the reason why Trump was elected president,
