VMC is very near my place
in Elwood! |
An established company that for many years has produced classical 'backing tracks', for rehearsal purposes. (eg. piano Concerto recordings, with full orchestra but without the piano part). They have now branched out into Broadway Shows and popular songs, but still with a leaning towards Classical material. One of the few places where I can go if I'm looking for Classical backing tracks. |
