Hurrah - picking up the pace with this week’s Choral Chihuahua on that most marginalised of choral genres: fast music!

How’s it going? Every time this has appeared in my feed I’ve misread the title as ‘Bread To You’. Just a glimpse into my fantasy life there.

Another family milestone and another request for this cake - lots of love for this Claudia Rosen classic: theguardian.com/food/2022/sep/…

When an album is conceived specifically so one track bleeds into another with no musical break and the review files are shared by the label in a format that demands manual transition between tracks... Not a great listening experience Warner Classics & Erato

I’m in my thirties, but having spent half an hour in a mobile phone shop this morning with two very patient teenage staff I now realise I’m actually 105.

I've very much enjoyed my second year on the judging panel for the International Opera Awards. You can watch the livestream of the Awards Ceremony at Warsaw's beautiful Polish National Opera tonight at 6pm (UK time) on YouTube youtube.com/watch?v=LY3VKF… OperaVision

Oliver Mears' Reise durch Händels Bühnenwerke am Royal Opera House kommt bei an – eine erschreckend aktuelle Auseinandersetzung mit Extremismus und Absolutismus, allerdings auch eine etwas wirre Produktion, die zwar gut aussieht, aber eher zusammenhangslos daherkommt.…

I'm a bit obsessed by this Simon Parkin arrangement of Maddalena Casulana's 'Morir non puo il mio cuore' on the new United Strings of Europe disc. Sort of explodes it outwards then the pieces collapse back inward into the madrigal(ish): open.spotify.com/track/5PNu1yDU…

I have a goddaughter who is 4 and am keen to try and get out of my safe book-giving rut this Christmas. Can any parents or small-people-knowers suggest toys that might hit the spot? Overwhelmed by all the possibilities…
