October is #Halloween month, and so a good time to be transported back to the summer of 1943 on the idyllic Norfolk coast for a series of atmospheric slow-burn novel-length ghost stories...

I've started work on a classical day-by-day type book, although it's very rough and ready right now. But am pleased to say that Bax will appear twice, although I've only drafted this entry so far. Needs work!!

The Festive Symphony
When a PhD student works through the papers of a composer, he finds the score of a previously unknown orchestral work. But why has one of the movements been obliterated by the composer and what secrets do the composer's diaries keep?

The 1956 film, "Storm Center," about a librarian who refuses to remove a book from her library was released on blu ray this week. Rescuing the film from obscurity at this time seems more than just timely. As was the case in 1956, the fightback against such actions has to start somewhere.

If anyone is interested in more obscure operas, the Bru Zane label presents modern studio recordings in the format of hard-backed books of 150 to 250 pages. Each contains essays in French and English, and a full translation of the libretto. Absolutely gorgeous.

Cheers. Also, as you stated correctly, Kendall said today in response to a question that a current claim requesting a reassessment due to their condition getting worse will have it under the new rules after November 2026. However a publication from Timms suggests that's actually untrue.

I've been working with historical newspaper reviews of classical music for a book I'm writing. I thought it might be worth having the occasional quiz: Guess the work from the review! This one's from a 1908 newspaper but refers to an earlier work.
