BBC2 is currently showing Planet of the Apes (1968) and as usual it's at the wrong speed, meaning the score - one of the greatest of all time - is at the wrong pitch and rushed and the whole film runs 7 mins shorter than it should.
A horrible way to treat classic movies.

Dear shops: I know you want me to buy your things, and I likely signed up to your mailing list because I like your things. But I'm less likely to buy your things if you send me an email every bloomin' day.

That's not the way to my heart, it is the way to the unsubscribe button.

Key changes. Note changes even. Please, just try a bit harder in your film scores, will you?! Would it hurt to just move that left hand octave drone about a bit once in a while?!

An excellent list from @larkingrumple.bsky.social - totally agree that the extraordinary Violin Concerto should be better known (that ENDING!). But no Noye's Fludde?!! The single greatest work for children ever written. Let's replace The Bridge Variations with that. :-)

When we played it @kensingtonso.bsky.social I was on timps and mis-counted a large number of bars rest (thanks to the UTTERLY confusing new published version by B&H) and missed the solo glissando. Disgusted with myself, I didn't play for a year afterwards.

The original version of Bartók’s thrilling Concerto for Orchestra was premiered on 1 December 1944. It is a captivating fusion of folk motifs and advanced orchestral techniques, reflecting resilience and transformation in the context of war. What are your favourite recordings? #classicalmusic

“I see the early music crowd hasn’t arrived yet.”
Yet another good reason to be here. 😉
I see the early music crowd hasn’t arrived yet. They’ll probably join in a couple of hundred years but still claim to know how things were done at the beginning.

“It’s quite possible to do serious music in a serious way for one audience and be fun and entertaining for another.” Exactly right.
