Dietrich Fischer Dieskau was a remarkable all round singer and musician, at ease on the opera stage and recital hall platform, a Conductor, artist, writer, teacher.. And he recorded everything he possibly could have done. Quite the life well lived. Born a hundred years ago.

Sharing thoughts on music with amazing cellists at the WEMP festival. After 26 years on the cello, 4 master’s diplomas & a postgrad,performing still feels as challenging and thrilling as ever. Huge thanks to the festival organisers for a fantastic time in Pully! 📷Emilie Steiner

Someone knitted a Pope and threw it at the Pope and the Pope caught it with one hand and waved it around and that’s all I needed to see today 🥰 #PopeLeoXIV

Today May 29 is the anniversary of the premier of Igor Stravinsky Rite of Spring in 1913. My desert island piece. Early in my career I wondered if I would ever be able to play this piece and now after having played it so many times I’m still completely enamored of it! #music #otd

It was an incredible honour to contribute a major guest essay to ⁦New York Times Music⁩ in celebration of Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau‘s birthday. nytimes.com/2025/05/28/art… ⁦Carnegie Hall⁩

Terrific Handel, frolicsome Brahms, romantic-sounding Ravel, BBC Radio 3 Breakfast has appealing catholic tastes. And truly responsive presenter in Linton Stephens this week, thanks.

Joseph Haydn died in Vienna #OTD in 1809. He shares with Schubert the dubious distinction of being the greatest composer whose many operas sadly remain neglected. Is it too much to hope for more revivals of Haydn's operas?

So looking forward to this concert at Wigmore Hall tonight with these two brilliant singers. Join us if you can! wigmore-hall.org.uk/whats-on/20250… Wigmore Hall 𝐍𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐲 𝐒𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 @annaluciarichter #Mendelssohn #Liszt

We should be thankful for Ian Hislop. Someone who is never afraid of telling it how it is. Unlike most of the UK media It's extraordinary that someone speaking common sense with such clarity is such a rarity in our media.

Fireworks for Flicka: happy 80th birthday, Frederica von Stade!

Morning, all. A sunny Monday here. Wishing you all a happy, productive day and a great week.

Tuned into #BBCNews & heard Andy Burnham IMO - Andy Burnham represents the very best in Labour politicians. In presentation terms, in communication terms & importantly - his instinctive emotional & intellectual relationship to key Labour values. Andy Burnham
