@StevenIsserlis Never heard of it :( Incidentally, I caught a beautiful cello concerto on the radio the other day - played incredibly well - it was the Walton, played by you 😃
Hope to hear it again soon!

It's strange that some works which strike an immediate chord when they ARE performed, are so neglected. I just heard Schumann's gorgeous Requiem op 148 - everyone loved it; but when will it be played again? Martinu symphonies also - audiences love them! But so rarely heard...

@StevenIsserlis A string quintet? With bass, extra cello or viola?

Beethoven d otd 1827. Oh, that he had lived a bit longer and completed the projects he had in mind: a piano concerto, a string quintet, even a piano performance manual! But... his immortal spirit truly lives on - miraculously - through his music; it continues to give us hope.

Name a human invention that has saved more lives than vaccines

@NiallHarbison Whether others love you or not, is outside one’s control. But giving love to others is within our control. You do this well, even simply by loving those dogs & sharing that… you don’t even need to share it if you don’t want to, or need a break!❤️

My confidence and self worth haven’t been great lately and I just wanted to say thats ok so other people who suffer with depression or anxiety know that it’s ok to feel like that. I’m CEO of Happy Doggo and most people in positions like mine have to hide stuff like this. Most people in all positions In life do actually. It’s really hard to admit you don’t feel the best about yourself. That’s why I just write it down as I feel because maybe it’ll help someone. Between our team, partners and everything wrapped up in what I do there are probably 100+ people who rely on me. Add in social media, donors and everything else and that’s a massive happy facade to keep up. I’ve learnt though that it’s ok to say you are not ok. At the moment I’m going through the motions. Still working hard and trying my best but I feel a bit worthless. No self worth at all. I also have imposter syndrome. I know I can jus read the comments here or look at the dogs saved and I should be happy but it doesn’t bring me anything. I look in the mirror at the moment and can’t even really look at myself. No particular reason or spark for this. As people who suffer know it just comes in a dark wave like a fog. I could easily share some happy dog photos and smile and pretend I felt amazing. But I’d rather be honest and try to help others. I have untold amounts of support and good luck that many of you dont. So if you're feeling down or a little rough right now, that's okay because so am I, and it's absolutely fine to say that. Have a lovely weekend and be kind to each other ❤️

Excellent reminder

@Thebestfigen One kid there definitely has the conductor gene

Who says classical music is boring...

Gustav Mahler and Richard Strauss. "Salome" was being performed at the Austrian city of Graz. May 1906.

@StevenIsserlis @scaramuccio0 I love the orchestral tuttis of this piece too 😃

@scaramuccio0 No it isn't...

Dvorak's cello concerto op 104 was premiered in London by a British cellist, Leo Stern, with Dvorak conducting, otd 130 years ago. What a work: a journey encompassing heroism, excitement, intimacy, tenderness, aching nostalgia and at the end, personal tragedy. A true masterpiece.

@Lindy112233 @Old_But_Gold50s I kind of like your point, because I also thought it was now :) It would have been nice to know the time and place the video was taken

@Old_But_Gold50s Amazing! She'd be 101 though if born in 1925 not 91.

The legendary Ruth Slenczynska, born on January 15, 1925, is the last living student of Rachmaninoff. At 91 years old, she gives a breathtaking performance of Brahms' Intermezzo Op.118 No.2. 🎹

Loblaws profited $5.2 billion on the bread fixing scam. For that they paid a $500 million fine. Less than 10% of the profit. Make that make sense.

Earth is warming at the fastest rate in at least 485 million yrs Global temps are now roughly 1.3 degrees Celsius (2.3 degrees Fahrenheit) higher than just 150 yrs ago - triggering hurricanes, droughts, heat waves & wildfires more intense than anything most creatures have seen
