that picture of me looking exhausted over a Ligeti score is one of my faves of all time

I thought I played with such sensitive phrasing that the earth moved, but I guess it was a wider phenomenon

Just the other day I told Anna Clyne that it had become cheaply fashionable to bash Brahms and here you go

At DFW Chilis contemplating the menu on a sticky table while over the speakers in E major (maybe?) comes a crooning plaintive country lament “why can’t you find another bar?” Music truly expresses the infinite!

Sorry about the paywall but this review of the unusual and fascinating Anna Clyne concerto is gratifying ! @dallassymphony playing with tremendous care and attention under Fabio Luisi wsj.com/arts-culture/m… via WSJ Books Section

As promised. I hope three stars in korea is better than a 3 on Goodreads

Also I don’t want anyone to be scandalized but im sleeping with Karina Canellakis

this piano concerto may seem a bit innocent at first, but then gets pretty wicked with hi-hat drum and russian chant and fugues all romping in ivesian disregard for stylistic homogeneity (and you know i like music to be at least 20-25 percent wicked)

It’s been a good day. At 4 am I dreamed about a newly discovered Haydn piano trio and then all day I heard young musicians giving their all The Royal Conservatory

Korea, watch out! Here comes EGBDF translated as something like “I wish this lesson would never end”

I would join this class action

How does one reply to this ambiguous review of Chausson ?

Can't wait to see Rhiannon Giddens, jeremydenk, and Richard Goode at Caramoor in August!

I know that when I recommend something I get less engagement than when I stupidly start a twitter spat but I really thought this performance was full of great stuff (starts at 39 minutes) and a tour de force for devoted, hardworking members of BBC Symphony Orchestra & Chorus

Definitely a joyful night making music with the Danish string quartet and their branded beer is delicious

How risky on a scale from 1 to 10 is it to eat Danish tacos on the day of a concert

Listening to Nina Simone in a cafe in Copenhagen after a long but fun day of dead white dudes

you could argue mozart spoke more truth to more power than most canon composers and so i’m confused when i see how much negativity he gets from the classical twitterverse
