Where is my Bruckner?? I want my Bruckner!! Give me my Bruckner!!

…because the opening octaves may unreasonably cause your brain vessels to explode.

And which musician would we most wish to see in a traditional getup?

Dear Danes, stick to what you know, please.

i.e. Pastry with excess sugar, cheap fizzy lager, ultra-processed pork products, lampshades, diabetes drugs…

Me thinks music is not your department.

What shall I sing to charm them??

Basically, it’s the same motions for fine control for the same core muscles, right?

Right???

My current unlikely fitness guru…

I demand an end to all anti-Brucknerian discrimination - we deserve more than to be relegated to the pocket score section - and that all 14 versions of Bruckner 4 be made immediately accessible.

Jakub Hrůša, you have been ordained onto the highly rarified list of dudes who make me want to shop for trinkets. Congrats.

How are we watching it?

It's a public holiday where I am. The concert hall area will be chock-full of tourists. Salonen is in town to conduct Sibelius 5 and premiere his Horn Concerto commissioned by our local phil. There will be a meet-and-greet after. But I have just settled down to go through the Apple catalogue. I have barely ever even scratched the surface of the 100+ available recordings. I probably can keep going till I fall asleep sometime in the AM. Remind me why I am putting on my warpaint, doing my hair, wearing pants, and putting on shoes to go to concerts again? I completely forgot. If anyone knows, please enlighten me.
