I've just heard a recording of #MariaCallas singing one of Rosina's arias from The Barber Of Seville, and finally understood why she was so revered.
Stunning, virtuosic, but with such lightness of touch it just flowed.
Breathtaking.
It was on #BBCRadioThree, in #ComposerOfTheWeek, if you want to find it....

To my shame, today* was the first time I’d ever heard of Max Richter.
Listening to #Radio3 #ComposerOfTheWeek
Memoryhouse, supposedly a commercial failure, is a phenomenal collection of work.
*so I thought - having just searched through my music and found a copy of “24 Postcards in Full Colour”
#ComposerOfTheWeek is about to begin. #Advent & #Christmas with #JSBach, and #DonaldMacleod on BBCRadio3

What would #Advent & #Christmas be without #JSBach?
Thanks to #DonaldMacleod & #BBCRadio3 for this inspiring series of #ComposerOfTheWeek.
