I needed a Brahms fix, and this does the trick. Possibly the greatest recording of the piece. youtube.com/watch?v=leQZhr…

This is so true. I usually never get back to sleep.

Every time I want to do this I hear my grandmother's voice. Out of respect for her I have never been able to really swear, and I know it would be cathartic.

This is a wonderful disc. It deserves all the interest that we can generate. So unusual, and a great project. Yes, it is still possible for these types of discs to be made. Thank God (or the deity of your choice). Brava Anneke Scott

Word of the day is 'snollygoster' (19th century): an unprincipled person in office who is motivated by personal rather than public gain.

Love this album, and this Estonian lullaby in particular. open.spotify.com/track/2vTI0V0W…

Time sure has flown by. Wonderful song.

Word of the day is ‘sequacity’ (17th century): a slavish following of another person’s opinions without any questioning at all.

We had a wonderful tour in Spain with Nicolas playing the Brahms 2nd concerto. Such a gifted, sensitive, and unique pianist. So young. Lupu was simply epic.

Don't miss this chance to see this film. It lifts the curtain on what an audition truly is, and it does not avoid talking about certain taboo subjects. In english with french subtitles. This Thursday at 18:00 Conservatoire Royal de Liège (free admission)

This almost a daily occurence. I spuddle along all the time.

Happy Mother's Day

A great loss today. He was an important part of the soundtrack to the 1970s & 1980s. RIP Vangelis
