Passionate symphony lover. Other music is good too.
Post a non-religious photo you think of as holy

I really like the music of hers I've heard so far. The Fritiof Suite is lovely.

If you see this, post an album cover with a vehicle on it.

No. 1 with a bullet! #NewReleases2025 #223 has gone straight to the top of my list of the year's best Mahler recordings.

I'm out on the bike now, and it's getting a bit Alfred Hitchcock.

#NewReleaseFriday slips to Saturday again, thanks to a work trip to Stockholm. I return to find a monster Mahler week with #NewReleases by Paavo Järvi, Klaus Mäkelä and Kahchun Wong. Also Walton 1 from John Wilson and the Sinfonia of London! Let's get cracking #NowListening ▶️ spoti.fi/400asdn

What's better than a Saturday negroni?

A spooky Saturday negroni!

I've been wildly in love with "Harmonium" by John Adams for over 35 years, so what luxury it was for me to see and hear the composer himself conduct it at @bridgewaterhall.bsky.social last night with the mighty massed forces of @thehalle.bsky.social orchestra & chorus!

Happy #NewReleaseFriday! Evenings are drawing in and temperatures are dropping (in my hemisphere at least), but one of my lovely local orchestras is here with "an hour and a quarter of musical sunshine" (@theguardian.com) to keep me warm on dark winter nights.

Good morning @loveinner.bsky.social.
Ready for another Haydn symphony deep dive yet?
A gramophone classic freshly remastered on 41 CDs!

It has to be a negroni to accompany such an obvious homage to Italian Giallo cinema.

I'm not familiar with the concertos at all, and they're certainly getting my weekend off to an energetic start.

Like Reiner, Herbie would be on my list if he'd done them all.
October 24, 2025 at 6:12 PM
Muti and Wilson, with Ozawa only a nose behind. Also really enjoy this.

Time and music wait for no man. I'm already on to this guy's Symphony No. 5. Maybe you've heard of him?
October 24, 2025 at 5:53 PM
How I'll be feeling until at least mid-December.
October 24, 2025 at 5:26 PM
Oh Antonín, you beauty! Sometimes only Dvořák will do.

#NewRelease2025 #211 is a wonderful way to welcome in the weekend #NowListening ❤️🧔

First classical recording I ever bought for myself with my own money. On cassette. c. 1984.

Catching up on some diverting new releases on my day off.

Happy #NewReleaseFriday! A Russian quartet opens my playlist this week: a bumper box of Scriabin orchestral works (+ the concerto that follows them round on record), Ustvolskaya's 5 increasingly laser-focused symphonies, a Tchaikovsky twosome, plus Prokofiev 4.
