I think pretty much everyone reading this can agree that the United Kingdom’s Brexit negotiations were not safe in @DavidGHFrost ‘s hands.

@nfmusic @jeremydenk You’re all forgetting Krenek’s Karl V

@jeremydenk Brother.

falstaff is the best opera but walkure is up there one of the most wonderful and orgiastic

Now I never knew this @auroraorchestra being a week older than @YouTube makes me feel a little….old

HAPPY 20th BIRTHDAY to @auroraorchestra !!! 😌🎉🥳 I had no clue of course that our first concert back in 2005 would be the beginning of something that would still be here today. So many amazing memories. So many people to be grateful to. Here’s to another 20!

So many treasures to see at Ainola, the house for 50 years of Jean and Aino Sibelius. And I was allowed to rummage around upstairs(!) - amused to see a score of Walton’s opera on his shelf. I’m not sure he opened it many times. Many scores of Bach and Beethoven however…

this is why we need the department of education😭

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

Wow. Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde fearlessly calls out Trump and Vance to their faces. This is heroic.

For those within the EU (!) I’ve made a 5-part TV documentary: conversations with Finnish conductors about…. conducting. 😊The wonderful #PekkaKuusisto @DaliaStasevska @MalkkiConductor @esapekkasalonen @hlintu were brilliant. areena.yle.fi/1-71023552?utm…

@nicomuhly But in toto one of the best sounding KC Choirs for years.

@nicomuhly Not happy about that

Just so you know, apparently Once In RDC is going to be in G-flat *again* this year. More homosexuals have texted me about this than did when Whitney Houston died — and one actual living practicing heterosexual. That's how big a deal this is.

Tonight 7pm @BBCFourTV a repeat from 2012 of @auroraorchestra ‘s @bbcproms with #WallaceandGromit . I even got to have a telephone chat with Wallace. Nice chap

Whhhhaaaattttt?! This is pushing my mental acuity

@NoisyMV Enjoying reading this as I……take off from Heathrow

@nfmusic @jamiesusskind @AmyHarmanBsn

@jamiesusskind The worst

Is there anything worse than Joe and the Juice? Hot, loud, takes forever, a tenner for a lukewarm cup of bilge. I’ll fight anyone who disagrees

The guy who wrote biscuit puns for Kemi Badenoch

@tapio_bergholm @Yle_Rso Yes…I guess the live performing element is what makes this unique?

@nicholascollon @Yle_Rso History, sociology, law, philosophy...

The remarkable Herbert Blomstedt conducting the wonderful @Yle_Rso in Mahler 9 this week. Is there any other profession where a 97-year old can share their experience and knowledge in such an enriching way? yle.fi/aihe/tapahtuma…

@JeremyPound71 @Yle_Rso Yes indeed. I guess the live element makes it pretty unique?

@nicholascollon @Yle_Rso Broadcasting? David Attenborough is still doing a pretty handy job at 98!
