This sentence struck me: there is a "catalog of worlds" maintained by the International Astronomical Union. nyti.ms/2GJuwwz

Have you ever been in one of those moods where you must hear Brahms’s Alto Rhapsody? Well, Spotify has this Marian Anderson recording. It is a lovely piece — I have never heard it live.

@EthicsSteve Theyre rusting, poorly painted, parts in desperate need of replacement, bare i beams. Anyone of these pics could be used as an example of ugly failing mismanaged urban infrastructure. How retarded are you?

Reasons to love Chicago #128-129: even on an overcast day, we have aging, graceful understated infrastructure that can calmly take us into the future.

I love the truly unbiased, fan neutral, fact-based reportage of the official MLB app. I also love Pat Hughes’s call. Great game.

For reasons I cannot fully explain, I’m transfixed now by Mahler’s 1st Symphony. Here’s a pre-war, wistful performance from Bruno Walter.

@richseld @VoiceCandy Mack the Knife/Morität/Meckie Messer is one of the most adaptable of tunes. So many wonderful versions. Such a work of genius.

Kurt Weill’s Kleine Dreigroschenmusik is the perfect thing to hear on an April Friday evening. Amazing music. Thank you ⁦@VoiceCandy

This is the most symmetrical photo I’ve ever been lucky to shoot in Symphony Center/Orchestra Hall. When I was a much younger kid, my brother and would I try to count the grooves in the ceiling. We gave up after ~ 35, but think the number is ~ 400. A sublime music space.

Reason to love Chicago #1,980: a sweet Sunday afternoon, the CSO playing a neat program. Corinne Winters has a lovely voice but it seemed drowned out by the orchestra. She sang Richard Strauss’s Four Last Songs. Plus some Janàček, Wagner and Rachmaninoff. Jakob Hrůša is a gem.

@BBGreatMoments During the brief time Harry Caray was the White Sox play by play man. Dick Allen was electric in his prime.

Dick Allen doesn't have the longevity numbers, but his peak was unbelievable. HOFer in my book 💯

Reason to love Chicago ##1,239,754-55: even on a foreboding day, in a foreboding time, it’s gorgeous here. Taken a few days ago.

@EthicsSteve When he was a freelance conductor, I was fortunate to see him lead the CSO that summer.

@TimothyGWeir Erich Leinsdorf. Wow! He was conducting the Boston Symphony on Friday, November 22, 1963. I recall reading that he was so dignified that day. My introduction to Wagner was through his genius. An old RCA LP.

@EthicsSteve I had a similar experience when I lived in Libertyville. Attended a concert with Eric Leinsdorf conducting Beethoven’s third and eighth symphonies – the first time I had heard either – and was enthralled.

@TimothyGWeir Ravinia is a sublime venue. Been going since I was kid, 1 or 2 times a Summer. I associate it with: Copland’s Rodeo, Mozart’s piano concerto 23, LvB’s Missa Solemnis—and most of all Brahms’s symphony 4. I learned to love each of these masterworks there.

@EthicsSteve Some of my favorite orchestra concerts were programs at Ravinia. What a treasure, the CSO.

@EthicsSteve I think I'm a glutton for punishment and rarely turn it off. Tonight is extra painful, though!

One of the great things about modernity is that I can just turn it off when the Cubs are getting completely bombed. Whoa this is painful (but instructive).
