Julian Bream, one of the master classical guitars of his day, has passed at age 87. I've been listening to some of his shorter performances, including this one: (youtube video) Aguado: Rondo Op.2 No.3, Julian Bream, guitar (youtube video)

I've loosely kept an eye on the musical development of young prodigy Alma Deutscher since she was little more than a toddler. Just the other day I noticed a video of a Dec 2019 Carnegie Hall performance of one of her orchestral works. She, now in her early teens, gives a brief introductory speech before the music begins. Most impressive. The transition from 'chaotic' opening sounds into its first melody makes my eyes mist, closet inner-romantic that I sometimes am. I get a kick out of her 'warning' us not to be scared by the 'ugly' opening. Compared to a decent portion of modern 'serious' music her opening isn't all that jarring.

Just finished listening to a very fine recently filmed concert performance of Beethoven's "Eroica" Symphony. (video) Beethoven: Symphony No 3 in E-flat, Eroica (video) Despite a few flubs and the cello/bass section being a little too small in number to provide the weight a few attacks/passages require I like this about as well as any third I've heard, better than a good many.

Tired of being cooped up at home so I took a trip on the Autobahn.

A reference to Nimrod had me dig out Bonzo Dog - Can Blue Men Sing the Whites? on vinyl. (Real blues would have been on shellac at 78rpm).
