916. Original Motion Picture Soundtrack: The Lord of the Rings — The Return of the King. Music composed by Howard Shore. There are so many beautiful moments in this music, from the lighting of the beacons of Gondor to the grey havens theme to the finale sung by Annie Lennox. #CDsAtoZ 💿

Saturn, October 28th 2025. A beautiful sight with its rings almost edge-on. 1,300,000,000 kilometres away, or 70 light minutes. #astrophotography

915. Gustav Holst: The Planets. London Symphony Orchestra and Ambrosian Singers conducted by André Previn. That’s not a planet on the album cover, but Previn’s recording is as bright and sumptuous as always, even though it’s over 50 years old. ‘Mercury’ and ‘Neptune’ are my favourites. #CDsAtoZ 💿

913. Leonard Bernstein: Candide. London Symphony Orchestra and Chorus conducted by Leonard Bernstein. Delightful operetta, here in its final revised version, recorded shortly before Bernstein’s death. The story, based on Voltaire, is hilarious. Wonderful recording. #CDsAtoZ 💿

909. Taylor Swift: The Life of a Showgirl. It’s a banger of an album, with some great instrumentation. Brighter in mood than her two previous albums and quite funky. Damn this woman is consistently brilliant and filled with ideas. #CDsAtoZ 💿

906. Benjamin Britten: Peter Grimes. The Britten centenary production recorded live at the 66th Aldeburgh Festival. An opera about “an ordinary weak person” (to quote the tenor Peter Pears). If this sounds hellish to you I’m here to say it’s fantastic and so very unusual. #CDsAtoZ 💿
