@StevenIsserlis @Iberia @Finnair Oh my goodness! Could it BE any more stressful! Do hope things look up on the travel front soon.

Ah, more joys of travel… @Iberia still not returned my luggage - and I had to leave again for Heathrow. My original @Finnair flight cancelled - and my cello wasn’t properly rebooked on the replacement flight. So - waiting again… though somehow I have more faith in Finnair…

@arthistorynews Big admirer of @lachlangoudie. Look forward to reading this! Thank you

This is tremendous. You’ll love it!

@j_amesmarriott Look forward to reading it! I always enjoy your columns; thank you for keeping me thinking!

And The New Dark Ages has a cover! Bitter years of book reviewing have taught me not to get too excited and that most books are fated to be ignored. But I am finding it difficult to remain entirely jaded in this instance

@lib_thinks @theamelia__ 53 years, but it is completely common. Why do you even ask?

@theamelia__ 46 on Monday

@virginmedia have been trying for weeks to return equipment which I no longer want or need. You tell me you have sent packaging - I am always here so know no attempt made. Now you threaten to charge me. Send the damn packaging which I have requested several times.

@olia_harris @wigmore_hall @iestyn_davies What a treat it was!

A full @wigmore_hall for @iestyn_davies &Oliver Wass on harp. Iestyn at his peak w/wide ranging prog from baroque to contemp, showing his amazing range, lang skills and a chiselled vocal expression! Wass is wizard of the harp scattering crystals in Ravel’s, mystery in Britten…

@lib_thinks @Matt_Pinner Yes - full house for me! Same vintage as you, @lib_thinks

@Matt_Pinner Are you a baby? Thousands of us have done all 20!

10 for me!!….I feel confident nobody Has all 20!! How many for you?

@iestyn_davies @Neilsmith0510Bt @liturgicalben @DrDavidPrice @davidhconductor @SJCChoir @wigmore_hall As a follower for many years of young men with very high voices (and older ones too, since my first encounter with the counter tenor was Alfred Deller!) I can only agree! College and cathedral choirs are vital to encouraging and nurturing them. Incidentally, I sang alto.

@Neilsmith0510Bt @liturgicalben @DrDavidPrice @davidhconductor @SJCChoir @wigmore_hall St John’s and others are part of an eco system that like it or not feeds the wider world of choral, solo and opera singing. Choirs like that have, I believe, a duty to nurture young countertenors. Otherwise, where else? We can’t join opera choruses, BBC singers etc

It’s important we take this seriously and Dan Hyde has said what many think but are not prepared to say.

@Monteverdi1610 @ifagiolini Happy Christmas!

Beyond excited to receive Xmas prezzie to myself - @ifagiolini I Phone cover. My favourite composer, vocal group and music director…win,win & win 😉💥🎄

@cellojohnston Congratulations!

I’m delighted to accept the invitation to become Artistic Advisor to the British Cello Society alongside my mentors Ralph Kirshbaum and Steven Isserlis. I’ve been inspired by the Society for as long as I can remember, and feel honoured to be part of this special community.

Some fabulous concerts in LFBM! Thanks to all, and to friends old and new who helped to make these few days really joyful.

@MannGeorgia @BBCRadio3 My personal go to for peace is Purcell’s Evening Hymn - preferably sung by Iestyn Davies - which I turned to almost daily in lockdown. Loved that version of the Beach btw. Thank you

In the midweek Playlister @BBCRadio3 we're starting with Amy Beach's ‘Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you', setting words from the Book of John. Where next?

@thetimes you have ruined the puzzles on line! I always do most of the puzzles before I get up, then return later in the day for the cryptic and extra puzzles. Now on return all the completed puzzles have been reset, and, worse, any crossword clues I have filled have been erased

@PetrocTrelawny Liking having you on Insta!

a reminder I am also at the other place now (insta***m !) as petroc_trelawny. Still posting here but maybe more stuff and updates there (very presumptuous to think you might be interested of course … but just in case).

@j_amesmarriott I will certainly try it! More power to your elbow!

In an act of unprecedented technological competence I have created a YouTube channel. First up a conversation with the writer Matt Rowland Hill - who was raised as a strict evangelical Christian and lost his faith - about the end of the age of reason youtube.com/watch?v=LY04aE…

@rowenamezzo I think of my Mum every day . Your beloved Mother is with you , your memories celebrate her and your love endures. Keep her memory alive and enjoy all that is to come as she would have wished xx

At 2.22 one year ago my beloved mother passed away. This afternoon I have been playing some of her favourite Chopin pieces and remembering how much she liked listening to them when we were in Italy and her room was directly below the piano. Marlene: 10.09.37—24.08.24 RIP

@mrgrahamross @vokalensemblet Bravo!

Thank you @vokalensemblet for a beautiful concert tonight here in Copenhagen! Also first concert for me in 3 months standing all the way through without a crutch! 🩼 🙌 🎉

@olia_harris View from our terrace. Had to cut back the oleanders as they were obstructing it a bit! Hope you are having a good summer.

@Jen25Nash Ooh very lush and a nice pink. What a view from the hill!

Love the bright green leaves contrasting. One of my fave flowers. #hydrangeas

@olia_harris Oleanders have been spectacular! One problem is we are not here enough for watering and soil is very heavy and poorly drained,

@Jen25Nash Interesting! Too hot? So what have you got flowering - would be nice to see a pic!

@MannGeorgia @BBCRadio3 @bbcproms I am getting a bit fed up with your fan girl giggles about Theotime. He is great, but he has been at WH and other venues over here quite a few times. You haven’t just discovered him, some of us have been watching his progress for ages!

Morning! We’re Counting Down ⁦@BBCRadio3⁩ to the ⁦@bbcproms⁩
