And part 2. There is 11 days still to listen to it (till 22.1.2023).

Playing in the Dark: Neil Gaiman and the BBC Symphony was a 2019 event with Neil reading stories and BBC Orchestra playing music where David Tennant appeared as a surprise guest :).

The Good Omens segment (Neil’s introduction, David reading the drunk AC scene, Amanda Palmer singing A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square) starts at part 2 at 39:50 :). And there is a Good Omens Theme played by the orchestra at the beginning of part 1 :)

Yesterday at the BBC Doctor Who Proms was one of the best experiences of my life. A bucket list moment. I've never cried so much.

To hear Vale Decem played live by the BBC Orchestra of Wales with footage of 10's regeneration...

And then Abigail's Song. No words...

To hear 15's theme and Doctor Who theme. To see Murray Gold, Donna Noble and Mrs Flood. I will never get over this experience. Of being at the Royal Albert Hall in London for the Doctor Who 60th Anniversary.

This Week's Listening & Muses - April 1-7

Schmitt - Suites from Antoine et Cléopâtre. For r/classicalmusic 's piece of the week. I haven't listened to much by Florent Schmitt, I know his symphonie concertante and some piano works. I liked his orchestration, like Debussy mixed with Strauss. Doesn't captivate me as much as the piano and chamber works but it is luscious.

Mendelssohn - Concerto in Ab Major for two pianos. Decided to listen through more of Hyperion's catalogue of "Romantic Piano Concertos", which were some of the works I listened to getting into classical music and were formative to my tastes. Mendelssohn's double piano concertos were written when he was a teenager for him to play with his sister Fanny, and they weren't published in his lifetime and apparently he thought they were immature. The concerto was charming and made me think of the early/classical Beethoven piano concertos

Moszkowski - Piano Concerto in E major. Another recording from the Romantic Concertos series, I hadn't listened to this one much before and wasn't that interested. Listening to it again now, I loved the exuberance and larger-than-life sounds

Schmidt - Symphony no.1. A less popular symphonist I was really into years back, late romantic and decadent. I didn't like this one as much at first, but listening now I'm surprised that I used to find it boring. It's very loud, grand, "majestic", and like a lot of romantic symphonies, long. It's great for blasting on speakers

Messiaen - Turangalîla. To break up the Romantic monotony, I was happy to see Marc-André Hamelin as the pianist for this masterpiece. Bombastic, "futuristic", otherworldly, fun and beautiful and sometimes mind-boggling.

I'll try to post the top favorites of music I listen to in a week to share some recommendations and act as my own listening diary, hopefully introduce some music to you guys or get recommendations in return!

The National Theatre has just announced it will ‘reduce activity’ over the next four years due to ‘financial challenges’. English National Opera is on its final year of funding. The BBC Singers have been abolished. Britten Sinfonia has launched a £1 million appeal to enable it to survive Arts Council cuts. A quarter of the seats in BBC orchestras are to be unwaged. Cities the size of Liverpool, Norwich and Southampton have been left without opera. The post-1945 English artistic renaissance has gone into abrupt reverse, without much political debate. Darkness descends. Discuss.

- Norman Lebrecht

The axe of cultural vandalism is in full swing against anything classical. The BBC is the biggest employer of musicians in the UK, and to lose one in five of their orchestral players will create a black hole for musicians already stymied by visa restrictions and thus wider opportunities traditionally afforded them. The end of the BBC Singers, in particular, is heartbreaking - founded nearly 100 years ago, they have given both comfort and joy to the nation.
