@ClassicalCritic @sfs_musicians @SFSymphony Worked with her a couple of weeks ago (doing Bluebeard's Castle no less). Very nice lady!

She's a good'un! Relationships of the Board of Governors and the musicians might still be strained, after the kerfuffle with Esa-Pekka, but Elim Chan has all the makings of a successful MD for the SFSO.

@ClassicalCritic @MoonPavilion Can't wait to hear these...I'll get back to you when I've heard them. Bamberg are a brilliant band so the omens are good.

@MoonPavilion After careful perusal of the Martin Symphony Cycle Survey, where would you place this new puppy? ionarts.blogspot.com/2019/01/a-surv…

Out of the blue, I find this has just appeared. Martinu Symphonies, Jakub Hrůša. A necessary addition to all my other sets!

@ClassicalCritic Well, if you say so...😁. Just back from playing at another viola player's funeral. There have been five (!) viola players' dying in the past five months in Scotland. Really grim. Of course I'm paranoid that it'll be me next. 🫤

@dmviola But born in Munich - which gives me the license to wear lederhosen at any point, time, and occasion.

@ClassicalCritic What an interesting (and exotic) background!

@dmviola 😅 The (last) name is Estonian, grandfather born in St.Petersburg, parents in Germany, and I came of age in the States. Mystery solved.

@ClassicalCritic I think your name has been confusing me...Looks danish but that would be spelled Laursen. So god knows where you're from!

@dmviola Keep talking... I'm listening. 😇

@ClassicalCritic Not at all, both your English and German appear to be flawless.

@dmviola If you're not sure, I'm doing something wrong.

@Record_Politics He may be `entitled` to his opinion....but is he entitled to hold public office whilst holding those opinions?

Malcolm Offord has said an airplane conspiracy theory peddled by one of his candidates is a "private matter". He said David McLennan, who claimed billionaire Bill Gates was trying to cull the population, was "entitled" to his opinion. dailyrecord.co.uk/news/politics/…

@Glasgow_Live My god, this guy works in a doctor's surgery! Hopefully he doesn't speak to the patients like he spoke to Maeda.

@ClassicalCritic Btw, I'm not sure if you're a native English speaker, so please excuse the idioms.

@dmviola As long as the angle is kind...

@ClassicalCritic Well, it won't scare the horses!

@ClassicalCritic Well, as a bona fide Scotsman, on day I'll put up a pic of me in my kilt...😄

@dmviola I'm not Austrian but I have a license for those Lederhosen! 😇

@Mtsensk @ThePosieParker The responses to this tweet are insane.

@ThePosieParker 🤦🏼‍♂️

Banksy is a rich middle class man who makes art to further the objectives of the global political elite. Nothing more.

@JeanJCSibelius Very dapper in his striped trews!

@ClassicalCritic They're all amazing, but 2 4 and 5 are astoundingly good.

@JulietBlaxland @secondmentions @hwallop Maybe if they just called it Anchovy Spread it might have more appeal.

Today’s sad news. Patum Peperium, aka Gentleman’s Relish, “the anchovy spread”, discontinued… @secondmentions @hwallop

@ClassicalCritic @deccaclassics @DOylyCarteOpera Sounds like a decent compromise.

@dmviola @deccaclassics @DOylyCarteOpera Apparently a mix of the languages? Songs English and spoken word German, I would surmise. But I will let it be a nice surprise.

#morninglistening to ThePiratesOfPenzance ahead of tonight's premiere at the Volksoper. When a felon's not engaged in his employment, he'll hear opera for sheer enjoyment. And although this is a beauty, tonight I'm going due to duty. Amzn: amzn.to/3UkRxZi

@tutt_brian @RaymondSnoddy This is literally a Little Britain sketch. "I went into the toilet cubicle with the young man to discuss government fiscal policy".

Ex Tory MP Crispin Blunt is fined £1200 for possessing crystal meth after he told the court he entered the world of chemsex parties “to help inform government policy”…

@deGourlay @michaelwhite I hope your first novel is more researched than your re-tweeting of the Daily Mail.

@michaelwhite It's just reporting how Starmer has humiliated our nation and undermined its position in the world.

Yesterdays Mail splash is more interested in attacking Starmer than Iran. A squalid , unpatriotic campaign
