Right now I'm just "settling down for an afternoon on the phone"

(Or Prelude a l'apres-midi d'un faune)

Psychosocial by Slipknot...

*Feels awkardly out of place*

I shall listen to flutey toot music later, promise

Beethoven Symphony number 4

Youth Orchestra of Venezuela -Danzone No 2 -it is mind blowing!

Nathan Haines, O Misterio

All the music from the past week's wonderful Kodaly Summer School going round and round in my head...and round and round...and round...and round...

Dvorak American quartet. Cracking stuff!

Crown Heights Affair, Galaxy of Love

The superb new CD, Apres un reve, from Sandrine Piau: heard on CD Review on Radio 3 on Saturday and delivered to my doormat this afternoon. I like Amazon Prime.

The amazing Karen Geoghegan playing bassoon pieces by Hummel, Weber, Elgar...

I had the great privilege of hearing her live two weeks ago (her mum Lucinda is a friend and colleague of mine and Karen came to the BKA Summer School to play). I loved her on Classical Star but in the flesh she is even more brilliant - she makes that instrument absolutely sing.

Gorgeous music, gorgeously played.

The Spaghetti Western Orchestra playing the music of Enrico Morecone at the Proms. Fab

Me too. Staggering!!

And here; better on tv than on the radio.

What was that thing a few minutes ago where he appeared to be waving his arms around an aerial?

This concert on BBC iplayer. It features some young musicians from Manchester, and dates from the 1970s, I think. I wonder if any of them are still playing?

A Theramin.

Though I typed it in such a hurry i got him completely wrong! Morricone, sorry (still in a hurry)

Mr Willobie attended that prom - he was glad not to have been on the front row...

W

Thanks!

(Thought it was Ennio; unless that's short for Enrico?)

Nope - Ennio - Really , really, not concentrating while typing. Typing in the dark, too, but that's no excuse

Been listening to Nina Simone today. What a voice, what a musician

Just listened to it. It was great.

Peter Gabriel and Youssou Ndour, Shaking the Tree

The New Zealand national anthem. Watching the World Cup...

Beethoven's Septet, Op.20 and following it with his Variations on Mozart's 'Bei Mannern, welche Liebe fuhlen' for 'cello and piano.

Elisabeth Welch singing 'Stormy Weather' at the end of The Tempest.

The sound of the train wheels on the track and the man in the seat behind me eating crisps VERY
LOUDLY...

I hate that (the crisps, not the train wheels). My husband is a very loud cruncher and if he has crisps I make him go and eat them in another room

Pick of the Pops on Radio 2. 1963.

Elton John - the Goodbye Yellow Brick Road album. Class. Vintage Elt

Norma-Jean-Bag x

Oh YES!!!

I've just been listening to Bag's CD of Elton's live show in Melbourne in 1986. Class indeed.

I've just listened to six versions of Telemann's Fantasia #1 - three recorder versions, two flute versions, and a trombone version. Very interesting to hear the different interpretations...but for some reason when the trombone version started, I just couldn't stop giggling

My lovely student talking (and playing and singing) on Radio Humberside on Monday...

Misty-Eyed-Bag x

Ah, I know the one...

LUSH.

Prejudice by Tim Minchin

It's better live

Ride a White Swan : T-Rex

Ah, I have great memories of a birthday (I can even remember what I was wearing!) - not saying which one! - and hearing this playing LOTS in the background...

Oh I do love this one
