The transfer of the @uswnt Jenna Nighswonger to @arsenalwfc.bsky.social was covered in every major sports paper, magazine and website. The fact that she hasn’t played a single minute since pre-season, not even making the bench (apart from one CL match, where more are allowed), is a scandal.

Last day of recording our ‘Vivaldi in Prague’ CD, supported by The Continuo Foundation. Today was the very nimble Sally Holman dispatching Vivaldi’s bassoon concerto in G minor. The day ended with the epic violin concerto in D minor by Jiránek, played by Tassilo Erhardt. We did it!

On behalf of The Harmonious Society of Tickle-Fiddle Gentleman, I’m absolutely thrilled that we have been awarded a Continuo Foundation Grant, which will enable us to realise our plans for a new recording this spring, ‘Vivaldi in Prague’. Prepare for (Bohemian) fireworks!

A little bit surprised to see that @daraobriain.bsky.social seems to be appearing in Glyndbourne’s upcoming production of Handel’s Saul. He’s a talented chap, so let’s how he gets on!

Listening to piano concertos by Tomášek. Ok, he's not Beethoven, but these are beautiful works!
