Wonderful new album - if you like big, dramatic piano concertos then try this!
Grazyna Bacewicz was a towering genius of twentieth-century Western composition.

Happy #NewReleaseFriday! If you've still to discover Polish composer Grażyna Bacewicz (1909-1969) then this ongoing survey promises to be a great way to explore her music. Plus Silvestrov's 8th, Summer Night in Vienna and more on my symphony & orchestral #NewReleases playlist.

The @ryanairofficial.bsky.social website is challenging at the best of times, but when the website of an Irish company refuses to recognize Ireland as the address for billing, I think we're all in trouble, aren't we, @ryanairofficial.bsky.social ?! Advice, please?
