Robert Pattinson played Dennis Stock & Dane DeHaan was James Dean in Anton Corbijn's Life, 2015. Corbijn is a great photographer himself.

On John Williams' birthday, I'm listening to Anne-Sophie Mutter play his Second Violin Concerto.

Great cover photo by Hilary Scott. Mutter's fabulous yellow dress goes so well with Deutsche Grammophon's branding!
