Devastated to share the news that was broken to colleagues at @UoNMusic (and other departments) at @UniofNottingham yesterday. This is obviously a very difficult time for us and our students. Please contact us on protectuonmusic@gmail.com if you would like to be involved @ucu

Exquisite playing from Christian Blackshaw @wigmore_hall last night. Enjoy it again free here: https://t.co/T9iLyqBgbB Unbelievable soft dynamics and always melodic playing, lines continually singing. The C minor Schubert Impromptu (D. 899) particularly devastating. Thank you!

The climax of Lever du Jour saw one man with six people on him: four sitting/standing on his shoulders, and two hanging from them. So astounding. One's breath was taken away, by that extraordinary musical peak and the mind-blowing physicality at the same time.

What a sensational evening from @LPOrchestra (and chorus) and @CircaPresents. Ravel's glorious Daphnis et Chloé taken to new heights (literally), thrilling with the gravitational potential of the score made visual - and so much staggering virtuosity.

Sure many listeners are enjoying Record Review of the Century on @BBCRadio3 as much as I am. @andrewCDmcg is a consummate broadcaster. Maybe today can encourage R3 & @classicjacko to reinstate #RecordReview to its time-honoured Saturday morning slot & restore its proper length?

So is the orchestra.

Aside from the horrible expression ("constructing repairs"; "work started [...] and expected"), what would the Victorians who built this cemetery have thought of the timeframe? 10 months to repair a wall?! @lb_southwark #nunhead #victorian

Perfect. 😂😂😂😂

I was charmed by the recycling of this poignant image by #dhlawrence: The White Peacock (his first novel, 1906-11) and Piano (poem, 1906-11; published 1913). #literature #poetry

about to drop the hottest britten song cycle record of the summer

Lift-off! Fuelled by Bach, Mozart, and Beethoven's life-enhancing and life-affirming Op. 130 (with the totally mad and totally exhilarating Grosse Fuge). So wonderful. What a privilege to enjoy such art, so gloriously played by @sacconiquartet to begin their 17th festival. Bravo!
