  1. #TIL the curate who wrote the #Hymn "Onward, Christian Soldiers" also wrote "The Book of the Were-Wolves"

    AND the "training up" of his lower class teenage fiancée into suitable curate marriage material was probably part of the inspiration for #GeorgeBernardShaw 's " #Pygmalion" (they were friends in later life)

    AND he taught classes with a pet bat on his shoulder

  6. Their performance last year of the Johannes Passion was stunning and now their recording is sensational. The new standard as far as I am concerned.

  11. A quotation from Shaw

    HIGGINS: Would the world ever have been made if its maker had been afraid of making trouble? Making life means making trouble. There’s only one way of escaping trouble; and that’s killing things. Cowards, you notice, are always shrieking to have troublesome people killed.

    George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950) Irish playwright and critic
    Pygmalion, Act 5 (1913)

  18. Prachtig geschreven recensie van de uitvoering van de Johannes Passion. Die was adembenemend inderdaad vorig jaar. Morgen hun uitvoering van de Matthäus. Zeer benieuwd!

  23. "I have to have something to sell tickets. The stuff you sent the other day isn’t it."

    Fedi, I'm petty. And hurt. And pissed off. Now, as the saying goes: in matters of taste, the customer is always right. HOWEVER.

    I love these promos. What do you think, fedi friends? Are you coming to my murder mystery?

  28. While working on my latest novel about #cyborgs and #cultists, I came up with a side plot idea. A character in the book is directing a #musical based on George Bernard Shaw's #pygmalion. It's a modern retelling about a haughty #AI #startup founder betting a #techbro billionaire that he could turn the #llm he wrote to be a #chatbot for a florist shop into a machine capable of solving any human problem. The name of the play is "My Fair AGI." This almost sounds cooler than the novel I was writing.

  29. Ces concerts filmés de Pygmalion en Thuringe sont merveilleux, allez voir et écouter !

    En revanche je trouve très très dommage qu'ils ne soient pas sous-titrés parce que la compréhension du texte apporte beaucoup

  30. Slowdive(band) - Pygmalion
    (Shoegaze, Experimental, Electronic / Sony Music Entertainment)

    "Mit ihrem dritten Album "Pygmalion", das zwei Jahre nach "Souvlaki" im Jahre 1995 erschien, schlugen Slowdive einen völlig neuen musikalischen Weg ein."

    Wie dieser neue musikalische Weg klingt hat @oranje1986 euch in der review beschrieben.
