Such a treat to hear and see the strange and wonderful Sancta Civitas again. My ★★★★ review @bachtrack of the First Night of the Proms. bachtrack.com/22/296/view/29…

Faust in Bucharest - my review for Opera Now. tl:dr - no, the devil doesn't have all the best tunes. Marguerite has most of them, at least when sung by Anita Hartig. gramophone.co.uk/opera-now/revi…

@MoonPavilion It was a weak pun on glagolitic and paralytic - a meaningless throwaway phrase to accompany a Proms photo!

@PeterQuantrill And while I have you, can you remind me - I think it was you - exactly how you described Janaček's Glagolitic Mass earlier this year? Something about what you write when you're drunk on Czech beer...

Just to say, in case anyone around here cares, that I am only checking in once in a while. Otherwise I am over at the other place, WokeSky as my son calls it (he is exercising filial rights to ridicule his father whenever he likes)

@LSHMWAH It's really quite refreshing. A welcome absence of ads and general trash.

@PeterQuantrill Have not made the shift yet. Disinclined to abandon Twitter, tbh.

@dlasson Not sure, David. I'm not aware that KT ever conducted the Fifth. I haven't heard him do so, and I don't know how I could have written about it! Which graphic are you referring to?

@PeterQuantrill @theoae @bachtrack I just read your terrific article in Gramophone on various Bruckner Fifth's you have known and loved, and I was intrigued to see in a graphic labeled "Bruckner Live" a listing for Klaus Tennstedt 1982. I was just wondering what you could tell me about this performance.

Lovely sunny day in Galați by the Danube. Last night, Trio Akademik (excellent) at the Nae Leonard Theatre. Tonight, Butterfly with Elena Mosuč as part of their #Puccini festival.
