So I’m going to give #A-Haydn-A-Day a go, but it’s slightly tricky.
I bought the Haydn 107 box fiveish years ago, intending to do a complete listen at last—the pandemic seemed like a good opportunity. But I did more concerts/recordings than I expected, and the Barbirolli Brick also got in the way.

J'apprends avec tristesse la disparition de Jean-Claude Eloy hier, à l’âge de 87 ans.
Compositeur électroacoustique, il est notamment connu pour ses longues fresques (souvent de plusieurs heures) et son intérêt pour les musiques indiennes et japonaises

Honestly, I'm about to waste a £60 ticket for the BRILLIANT French singer Zaho de Sagazan, from 7pm at the Palladium. Please can someone take it. I can't make it. She is amazing. I'm gutted.

When I was on @looksunfamiliar.bsky.social I chose this sequence from a 1979 Sesame Street episode - probably the first time I ever heard Philip Glass was this exclusive piece he wrote for this animated sequence, Geometry of Circles. It's never appeared anywhere else.

I get this a lot
down the corridor it seemed suddenly as if somebody started to beat on a bass drum. He listened to it for a few seconds and realized that it was just his heart beating. He listened for a few seconds more and realized that it wasn't his heart, it was somebody down the corridor beating on a bass drum
