  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

    AND he's the ancestor of comedian #JoshWiddicombe

  3. 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.

  5. 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)

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

  8. "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?

  10. 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.

  12. 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

  15. #bookstodon #neurodiverse #GeorgeBernardShaw

    Just finished reading #Pygmalion and am wondering who finds Henry Higgins to be some variation of neurospicy. It explains a lot of his behavior, I think, though Shaw himself (in intro and afterword) writes off his behaviour in other ways. Higgins is also a confirmed bachelor and not gay. He'd fall in the ace/aro category of written now.

    Thoughts?

  17. Eastern.

    After the overwhelming performance of the St. John Passion last week, I am curious to hear how I will evaluate this performance. Whether it 'beats' my all-time favorite (La Petite Bande / Sigiswald Kuijken).

  18. Absolutely astonishing! Johannes Passion by Pygmalion / Raphaël Pichon.

    Words are lacking.

    Powerful, nuanced, vulnerable, emotional, transparant. Probably the finest passion I ever saw.

  19. Just saw PYGMALION (1938) on 35mm at the Paris Theater in NYC.

    Wendy Hiller and Leslie Howard had roughly the same age difference as Audrey Hepburn and Rex Harrison, but their chemistry is infinitely more genuine.

    George Bernard Shaw’s Oscar-winning adaptation of his play feels like a screwball comedy. Delightful.

  21. I still remember seeing Neil Halstead performing solo at The Evelyn in the early 2000s, and @acb dashing home to get his copy of Pygmalion to get a signature on it. I was still catching up at the time, but it’s definitely one of those albums you either Get™ or you don’t. I’m glad I do, and the connections to Bark Psychosis aren’t lost on me.

  23. So-called ‘lucky’ people tend to have more family, friends, mentors, teachers, etc. that may subconsciously 'expect' more of them and encourage curiosity / achievement.

    ‘Unlucky’ people may have fewer people giving them encouragement.

    These persons perceived as ‘lucky' also somehow seem more enthused towards curiousity and achievement.

    Then there are people who purely make ‘luck’ for themselves regardless of their environment with their own expectations.

  25. Listening on Easter -of course- to the Matthäus Passion. Another attempt at the version by #Pygmalion / Raphaël #Pichon, given the raving reviews last year. The articulation is superb. Every word can be heard. And the tempi are very well chosen. Not too slow and certainly not too fast. Not sure though if it will defeat my favorite version by La Petite Bande.

    What is your favorite version?
