I like #classicrock, #hardrock and #heavymetal, especially from the late 60s and the 70s. But sometimes I listen to very different genres, from #deathmetal and #folk to #classicalmusic.
I love walks in #nature, especially when there are blueberries and blackberries to pick along the way... and #mushrooms to find!

🧵 1/2
As an impecunious teenager in the UK years ago, I was delighted to pick up this recording of the 5th Symphony of Shostakovitch for 50p at W. H. Smith.
I had already heard and been delighted by the 1st Symphony, so I spent my money on the strength of the composer's name alone.
It's a very different work, of course -- dramatic, bleak at times, but also lyrical and perhaps ironic too. I've never tired of it.
I've listened to some of the other symphonies since then (not the 2nd or 3rd) but come back to the 1st and the 5th as my favourites.
It might not be obvious from the garish album cover that this recording is in fact a reissue of....

Yesterday we tuned into the local #classicalmusic station during dinner as we often do. Fabulous: Brahms’s second piano concerto with Pollini & Abbado.
As I did the dishes, to round out the hour they broadcast a jaunty short piece in turn-of-the-19th-century style. Not slop, it definitely had something to it, but they didn’t identify it.
The station’s website said it was the finale of Friedrich Witt’s Symphony in A. But who was Witt? A guy who wrote that piece in 1790 when he was 20 and later had a nice career in Würzburg.
But what was that infectious melody? It’s the French revolutionary marching song “Ça ira”!

Hey #classicalmusic heads: The 92nd St. Y is New York's top venue for chamber music and solo recitals.
In addition to expensive tickets for in-person attendance, they provide for ridiculously cheap streaming access. I took advantage of this last season and didn’t regret it. The technical quality was excellent.
This coming season is 25 concerts for $200. The performers include Pierre-Laurent Aimard, Jeremy Denk, Richard Goode, Fazil Say, the Brentano Quartet for a Beethoven cycle, the JACK Quartet, Christian Gerhaher,...
Unlike last season, when you had to view in real time, next season they intend to make the content available for 3 days after the actual concerts, so it shouldn’t be a problem in any timezone.

‘It’s the Meryl Streep of the orchestra’: why cinema loves the cello
By Jonathan WellsFrom Audrey Hepburn to Pedro Pascal, cellists have become a movie shorthand for sensitivity, intensity and emotional depth. But why has Hollywood turned one orchestral instrument into a character in its own right?

Had my mind blown by a foldable travel harpsichord today at the Berlin musical instruments museum. Didn’t know it would be possible to build something like this! The video link shows a short video of how it folds into an oblong box shape.
