It always annoys me to hear continuity announcers on classical radio stations talking about ‘Relaxing sounds’ — as though the purpose of classical music is just to calm you down, instead of exciting you or making you think….

This is terribly unprofessional and the reasons behind the decision need to pressed further. “…would not, at the moment, have been the best use of officers' time…” is not good enough of a reason. @PinkNews @gaytimes @stonewalluk

What a silence! The final heartstopping moments of Mahler's Ninth Symphony, conducted by Sir Simon Rattle in his final UK performance with @londonsymphony. Watch the amazing 'farewell symphony' in, alongside Poulenc's Figure humaine with the @BBCSingers, on @BBCiPlayer now.

I’m so incredibly proud of my @BBCSingers colleagues - performers and management - for what we’ve achieved in the last 6 months. To go from ceasing to exist to prime time TV with Sir Simon Rattle at the helm is nothing short of a miracle! 1/2

When the extraordinary @Daniels first called and presented their vision for this shoot — paying homage to the Japanese Tokusatsu film genre — I thought they had the wrong muse (or certainly not their first choice for this amazing honor!) How unbelievably cool are these photos?!

She’s not bloody wrong! @marinalsop speaks her mind about the ugly undertones of this overrated film. If you want to see the misogynistic minority in classical music in action, just have a look at the comment section on Slippedisc. Brava Marin and Alexandra! #Tárnished

I am literally so thankful that somebody has got this out there, having seen the film in the US last year and thinking what a load of BS it was. Blanchett is brilliant, that is not in doubt, but it is an absolute pig of a story with no basis in reality.
