Well, I know a bit late posting for monthly focus but already started on Saint Saéns Piano Concerto no 5. This is the only one that I'm not familiar with so here goes. Using @houghhough @TheCBSO @oramsa
Do you remember when you joined X? I do! #MyXAnniversary
Thank you @HaydnLhp @MelvinTay_ Clothworkers Consort of Leeds and everyone else involved for a magnificent performance of an "all Mozart" programme today of Così fan tutte Symphony no 35 (Haffner) Requiem. We enjoyed it very much. Thank you once again🎶🎶
I love this album🎶🎶
I am very, very proud of these men and what they did yesterday. Please show your support by donating to their crowdfunder - the MoD has them by the throat. crowdjustice.com/case/nuclear-v…

Just finished reading The Scream of Sins @ChrisNickson2 Wonderful read. Couldn't put it down. It was good to see how Simon and family were and to meet Sally who was scary for anyone to go near her even though she was only twelve. 📖📖
For this March, it's back to Mozart with Symphony no 35 (Haffner) with @asmf. Chosen this one because we're going to see it performed later this month and wanted to familiarise myself with it first!
Still using a fountain pen with the cartridges today because I love the authenticity of them!
I love this one🎻🎻🎶🎶
Beautiful window which we saw recently!
Anyone else still love the "Carry On" films like I do?

If we get anything like this in Leeds, could we name our lines after Leeds famous events or people?

Just ordered the box set DVDs of "Britains Most Historic Towns" with @theAliceRoberts Loved it on TV and a good reference when visiting these towns & cities!
Sorry to hear this. Thinking of his family at this sad time!
This month, chosen as my monthly focus Shostakovich Piano Concerto no 2 This one because although very familiar with the slow movement, not so with the rest and wanted to know it better. Recording @BorisGiltburg @liverpoolphil @VasilyPetrenko

Sent back my postal vote today for @TracyBrabin and I. I’d urge everyone in Micklefield, Kippax, Ledston Luck, Ledsham, Allerton Bywater, Ledston, Methley & Mickletown to do the same!
We were delighted to welcome Sir Stephen Hough (@houghhough) to Trinity Laban this March for a set of masterclasses and a brilliant performance of his Song Cycles alongside our students and Head of Keyboard, Dr Ji Liu (@PianistJiLiu). Find out more here: ow.ly/Tin050RhjFl
A full house for Sir Stephen Hough 🎹 @BBCSSO @houghhough
Fantastic to be back in #Aberdeen! ✨We are joined by Sir Stephen @houghhough & Chief Conductor Ryan Wigglesworth for a dazzling concert featuring Rachmaninov's 'Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini'. Tonight, 7.30pm at Aberdeen Music Hall bbc.co.uk/events/e4b84f
Happy birthday to Murray Perahia! Wise advice: "You have to understand where the music comes from. You have to understand the counterpoint, the harmony, the things the composer studied." "Keep your love of music alive because the love is the fuel that drives everything forward."
Wisdom/inspiration from Albert Einstein (d otd 1955): “I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.” “I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious.”
Just what is it about sleaze and illegality that attracts Tory MPs?
Autumn @wigmore_hall will be a paradise for Fauré lovers… Song gala incl. Véronique Gens & Stéphane Degout FIVE concerts with all the chamber music performed by @StevenIsserlis & friends: @JoshuaBellMusic @irene_duval #blythetehengstroem #connieshih @jeremydenk VERY excited!!
Two years now since beloved Radu Lupu left us. I think of him every day - he remains a musical hero, a paragon of sincerity, profundity and warmth. As a person too - although melancholy at times, he loved to be with his friends, to laugh, and to help others: a truly kind man.
Day of laughter! Three comic geniuses b otd: Charlie Chaplin (1889): "A day without laughter is a day wasted." Spike Milligan (1918): "After five days in hospital, I took a turn for the nurse." (Ahem.) Peter Ustinov (1921): "Laughter... the most civilised music in the world."
Neville Marriner b otd 1924 - I wish he'd made 100! But what a way to go: in his sleep, the night before a rehearsal. He was the best company; so funny! A typical remark: "The awful thing about a conductor becoming geriatric is that you seem to become more desirable, not less."
Sir Neville Marriner would have been 100 on 15 April 1924. One of the most consistently loved figures of the British music scene, Marriner left a rich recorded legacy AND a former principal clarinet for the LSO, in his son Andrew. What are your favourite Marriner recordings?
Thoughts from George Frideric Handel (d otd 1759) - On studying music: "Learn all there is to learn, and then choose your own path." On audiences: "I should be sorry if I only entertained them. I wish to make them better." On composing Messiah: "I thought I saw the face of God".
The satisfied look of a feline goddess who knows she's just earned her third successive acknowledgement in a book by the greatest living non fiction author ☝🏾. She's my day one homie 🫶🏾
Favorite symphony 8? Other great 8th symphonies, not in the poll, are Beethoven, Rautavaara, Shostakovich, Glazunov, Langgaard, RVW
And Samuel Beckett b otd 1906! "We are all born mad. Some remain so." "Personally I have no bone to pick with graveyards." "To find a form that accommodates the mess, that is the task of the artist now." "There's man all over for you, blaming on his boots the fault of his feet."
Here’s my interview with Sir Neville Marriner back in 2014 @BBCRadio3 lovely stories… bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0…
@PB00040 I'm writing about the medieval English expansion into Wales, Scotland and Ireland.
