Replying to @classicjacko @PrivateEyeNews
I once jumped out on Pierre Boulez wearing a Womble costume (me, not him) - as he conducted the BBC SO in Schoenberg’s GurreLieder. He was a touch surprised but laughed and posed for pictures (all CBS records’ fault)
Strikes Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday this week. Slow hand clap, @lufthansa @vcockpit UFO union. Would love to see my family after 5 weeks away, I guess what’s an extra week eh? My sympathy for your striking pilots and crew is rapidly evaporating…

Opera is one of the great national creative assets. So much in Britain is broken. Opera is nearly broken but must be repaired. @TheRoyalOpera @glyndebourne My speech @UKHouseofLords 10/12/24

Along with Bax, Alwyn is one of the most underrated of composers (embarrassed to admit I haven’t yet discovered Carwithen, but looking forward to it). Please, especially UK orchestras, play more of them!
Excited for our friends @FaberMusic who entered a new publishing agreement with the William Alwyn Foundation to represent almost 150 compositions by both William Alwyn (1905-85) and Doreen Carwithen (1922-2003). Learn more and explore their music here:

How did I not know until now that you can link 2 iPads together to make a double page score in @forscoreapp? And on an entirely unrelated note (!), anyone have a cheap old 13 inch iPad they want to sell me?

Realising that despite his genius, Stravinsky’s grasp of English syntax was not up to the task of setting a libretto by WH Auden… It’s taken me half an hour to work out the sense of a single aria (and I’m coming to it for the third time) #rakesprogress #nowordfromtom
