"Tutti"

Dec 18 01:58 UTC 1994

There is a new monthly music magazine on the horizon, something
called "Tutti".  This according to an article in today's 
Ann Arbor News.

     Each issue of the magazine, which announces itself on the 
     cover as delivering "classical music for the rest of us,"
     comes with a full-length compact disc.  The magazine/disc 
     combo retails for $16.95 in stores;  it's also available 
     via direct-mail subscription at $14.95 per issue.  

     Issue No. 1 (each will be numbered but not issued with a 
     month or date) features Mozart.  Among the elements: excerpts
     from the composer's famously scatological letters, some fairly
     lurid speculations on the circumstances of Mozart's death,
     and anecdotes about his unorthodox social behavior that make
     "...Howard Stern and Sinead O'Connor look like saints."

     Who is this aimed at?

     "I would say it's aimed at people between 30 and 50, primarily
     but not exclusively women," says Roxanne St. Claire, director of
     marketing for Florida-based Tutti USA, Inc.  "These people make
     more than $35,000 a year, but no more than $100,000.  They 
     have children, they probably like stuff like Kenny G and Phil
     Collins and maybe a little jazz on Sunday morning.

     "They have probably never been to a symphony concert, or if 
     they have it's been only once or twice."

Are there any complete performances of works, on a desk?
