Yes, it's a piano roll, but I still love Katharine's Rach:

@LeahBroad Katharine Goodson met them both. She was quite friendly with Elgar, I think a bit starstruck meeting Ethel...

@tonyprinciotti And his friend Mozart had a Starling! Must have been a thing back then...

@ThePianoFiles Just stunning. Thanks for the introduction!

Maryla Jonas produced some of the most sumptuous Chopin playing on record, a series of Mazurkas recorded in the 1940s being longtime favourites of collectors. Here is the fabled 1955 LP of those readings and some web features about her life & artistry:

#InternationalWomensDay seems an appropriate time to remember the remarkable Katharine Goodson

The Tinworth panel (1880) at Truro Cathedral is so alive it's clay carvings almost move.

I have discovered that Timothy West as Sir Thomas Beecham is a fine way to spend 80 minutes! https://t.co/zERhC40DvT

Find of the week in my local charity shop: 'Violinist in Orange' by Eiko Yoshimoto. Dedicated on the back by the artist to one Simon Rattle...

Clifford Curzon was born on this day in 1907. He trained with Matthay, Leschetizky pupils Katherine Goodson & Schnabel, Landowska, and Boulanger - quite a pedigree. This 1968 filmed Kinderszenen finds Curzon playing with sumptuous phrasing and nuancing.

Tonight's #Symphonyat8 on @CRBClassical is by Saint-Saëns: his first go at a symphony at the age of 18. Romantic and colorful. What a genius. Check out this rare footage and audio (from 1904!) of him playing, conducting, talking:

"Theodor Leschetizky’s career as a pedagogue spanned the better part of 75 years. In all, in excess of 1,200 students are known to have studied with him." 😮

I love that Shirley Trissell has recorded the most appropriately spring-like programme possible and even more so that she has included Arthur Hinton's "Fireflies". Here from "Bugs 'n Blooms"
