  7. Thought in the practise room: maybe I could just become one of those opera singers whose every vowel sounds exactly the same?

    Because mine do. :P

    My husband's encouraging comment to the above was that I just haven't gotten better than aforementioned singers YET. :)

    Also, I don't want to become an opera singer.

    Back to practise!

    By Tom Service

    Period instruments are miles away from retro affectation, and as two Proms this week will show, can actually bring historical music up to the moment

    I have lost patience with the sector’s talk of diversity when it refuses to acknowledge those people who can’t afford to keep playing

  15. Dnes by měl narozeniny Antonín Dvořák, tak snad nebude vadit když dám ještě jeden jeho kus a zavzpomínám na minuly rok, když jsem se stavil "u něj v Nelahozevsi" a na Vysoké.

    Původně jsem si myslel, že to bude largo z Novosvětské, ale lento z Amerického kvartetu mi dnes sedlo víc 😉
