Eastman Kodak is betting that Photo CDs will eventually become as familiar to photographers around the world as its bright yellow boxes of film. It has succeeded in persuading such competitors as Fuji, Agfa and Konica to agree to one standard for the discs, although Kodak is first to offer the product. What the company envisions is a future in which devices that play Photo CDs -- which also double as music CD players -- have become standard equipment in home entertainment centers, alongside the stereo, the TV and the VCR. Kodak pictures families gathered in living rooms to see photos displayed...
...Angeles at least three radio stations are devoting significant airtime to the format (one, MARS-FM, restored its all-techno format after cutbacks provoked a storm of listener protest). Major labels like Sony and RCA are signing up groups and putting their marketing muscle behind techno music. Techno compilation CDs recently released by Profile Records and Zoo Entertainment are selling briskly...
...company has ceased manufacturing the album in its current version and has asked retailers to return unsold CDs and cassettes to Warner Bros. Records for full credit.

It consists of some 119 CDs, to be released over the next 2 1/2 years. The first 10 concentrate on Beethoven and Bartok, and the remastered sound is excellent. But that's not all. The pretty packaging is illustrated with watercolors by none other than Britain's Prince Charles. Would the maestro have okayed the shared billing...
MOST PEOPLE THINK OF CLASSICAL MUSIC as a white enterprise, but two new chamber-music CDs from Koch International Classics celebrate a pair of worthy black composers. The felicitously named SAMUEL COLERIDGE-TAYLOR (1875-1912), an Anglo-African, was equally at home in the Dvorak-tinged idiom of his Clarinet Quintet and the simple strains of Negro spirituals, which he set compellingly for piano. The album boasts fine performances, especially by pianist Virginia Eskin. WILLIAM GRANT STILL (1895-1978) was similarly eclectic. A staff arranger for the Paul Whiteman band, he could pen a delicate gem like the Seven Traceries...
