I'm moving my #ManfredJourney from Twitter to Bluesky as I evaluate every Tchaikovsky Manfred Symphony recording I can get my hands on.
Reminding myself to give this some attention, I’ve unearthed some gems recently.
Threading together some Symphonie fantastique reviews here:

Stuck in the derm’s office because my derm is herself stuck in the next room with a woman extracting a therapy session from her. Girl, you don’t need to tell your dermatologist about all of your family drama.

this is not "everyone is twelve" theory. this is the slightly rarer but typically much more consequential "no one knows what lawyers do" theory
“I’ve been hearing that standards will be eliminated or severely cut back. Bari has told people that she wants to get rid of standards and is shocked that they have so much power. She also asked openly, ‘What’s the point of standards?’” one CBS source said.

A lot of people truly don't believe anymore that reading and writing on a mass scale are foundational to democratic society. They think video and streams on corporate platforms can replace that.

You cannot stop me from conducting woke D&D sessions, Elon!
The far right is obsessed with Lord of the Rings and Musk keeps posting about "hobbits" because modern scientific racism owes more to fantasy worlds and gaming systems than genetic science, and they see both as effective mediums for right-wing propaganda www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

Honegger’s La Danse des Morts is a delightfully quirky 20th century work with a chorus, solists, and a narrator screaming French into the mic much closer than anyone else. Complete with a major key quote of the Dies Irae, it’s worth a listen even in 78-era sound.

Our next entry in the #ManfredJourney is one I've listened to many times on account of it's reissue as part of an economical DG Trio set. This 1993 recording comes from the start of Pletnev's conducting career. Pletnev thankfully does not drag his feet in the first movement like so many.
