Unquestionably one of the clarinettists of his generation. Suddenly father of two. As surprised as you are.

Michel Portal vient de nous quitter. Le clarinettiste, saxophoniste et compositeur venait d'avoir 90 ans. Demain matin lundi 16 février, ses amis Paul Meyer et Richard Galliano lui rendent hommage, dans #MusiqueMatin. Alex Dutilh lui rend aussi hommage ➡️ https://l.francemusique.fr/F00

Huge if true.
Album cover. Deutsche Grammophon logo top right. Black and white photo. Batonless conductor. The presence of an orchestra is strongly suggested rather than explicit. There is a rope hung along the edge of the stage. Caption: PIERRE BOULEZ Conducts STRAVISNKY [sic]

In @vanmusicmag.bsky.social on 12 Feb: my ranking/round-up of 345 Darius #Milhaud pieces! Over four months, I listened to or read as many of his 443 opus numbers as I could find. Today and tomorrow I’ll post highlights: as this is Milhaud, it’s going to be a LONG thread 1/

Today’s office
A concert hall with musicians rehearsing. The empty audience seats are multicoloured so we don’t notice how alone we are. An impressively mid-20th century wall feature. Can’t see if it’s meant to ‘be’ something. Some bits look wingy.

Some things are too serious for my silly little thoughts on it, so please don't misunderstand my silence as acquiescence.

I'm not going to stop posting the usual daft stuff.

It's not because I don't care. It's because sometimes I need a moment not to.

Off and on it
[Scene is heaven, in clouds. JESUS, acting as God’s PA, is briefing God, a big ball of light with arms sat at an executive desk, with a computer on it]. Jesus [holding a tablet computer]: OK, so - The next one to check in on is… ‘Earth’. God: Spelling? Jesus: E-A-R-T-H. [God types into the computer] tap-tap-tap-tap-tap. Tap. God: F—ing hell. What’s happened here!? We need to complain - get me the manager. Jesus: Uh, well, the most powerful one is… [Jesus turns his iPad round to show God. We can’t see the screen] God: What is that. I mean, it’s been a while but that’s definitely not how I designed them. Are you sure we’ve got the right planet? Jesus: Yes, this is the… top human. God: Off and on it again Jesus: I’ll book the meteor [Ends]

A black and white portrait photo of Bethan Morgan-Williams. She is holding a violin upright in front of her and is looking into the distance with the hint of a smile.
