Robin Wallington

Conductor, composer and arranger. Chief Conductor, Liverpool Mozart Orchestra. All views are my own, many of the jokes are not.

@RichardBratby In small doses, ‘steered’, ‘guided’, ‘propelled’, ‘coaxed’, ‘drove’, ‘supervised’. I like when a critic clearly has a feel for the specific dynamic between that conductor and orchestra - which alters piece by piece depending on what’s needed!

(As a conductor: I HATE ‘maestro’)

@RichardBratby Or ‘Oirish McOirish’, as I tend to refer to Bax’s alter ego.

@DrDavidVernon Just read Morning and Evening, on your recommendation. Extraordinary stuff…

@ZelenskyyUa @POTUS Trump brings peace, just as Chamberlain brought peace in 1939. And the result will be the same. Trump is very afraid of the third world war, but he is bringing it closer.

@RichardBratby (To the tune of Carmina Burana)

“0-4-2? Nah.”

@ATRightMovies Potentially unpopular opinion but the first five Harry Potter films. John Williams’ extraordinary creations will outlive the films themselves, and Doyle & Hooper created successful sequels. Hooper’s 6 and Desplat’s 7/8 were blander…

@RichardBratby I use my iPad so much - for looking at scores when out and about, for reading through full scores at the piano, for browsing new pieces during moments of leisure, etc. etc. I love it.

But the thought of using it in a concert setting fills me with dread.

The BBC is planning to eradicate audio drama from @BBCRadio3, which will be devastating for writers, other creative workers and audiences

Oh, so she’s like… *stupid* stupid…

[Liz Truss @trussliz]

Cowardly @Keir_Starmer has repeated his lies about me in the House of Commons Chamber where he is shielded from my lawyer's "cease and desist" letter by Parliamentary Privilege.

He needs to look closer to home to see who's collapsing the British economy.

Boris Johnson had four ministers resign in his first six months.

Liz Truss lost three, including chancellor and Home Secretary, in six weeks.

Rishi Sunak lost four in his first seven months, including his party chairman and deputy PM.

There are multiple reasons this is a bad idea

I'll go through each one by one for anyone who can be arsed to find out

The only people who won't be arsed are people who think this only for ideological, NOT rational reasons

@exhaustdata A sublime pastry and a sublime reference 😂

[Robin Wallington @ConductorRobin]

@RichardBratby @yuanyi_z Oh *yes*. Too early to pre-order…? 😂

[Robin Wallington @ConductorRobin]

@OUPMusic Rarely am I genuinely impressed by customer service, but I've got to hand it to you, @OUPMusic - after yesterday's binding issue, I've had swift and comprehensibly efficient help. Bravi!

[Robin Wallington @ConductorRobin]

@OUPMusic PLEASE sort your binding out - your scores are unusable. This is what happened when I opened my brand new score of VW Dona Nobis Pacem 🙄

[Reform Party UK Exposed 🇬🇧 @reformexposed]

MPs held a debate on the future of fishing today, not a single Reform UK MP showed up, Richard.

[Robin Wallington @ConductorRobin]

@DrDavidVernon Sad to see you go - but glad to have found your writings through this vastly imperfect site nonetheless!

[Robin Wallington @ConductorRobin]

Just a small programme tonight…

Keir Starmer asked by a Tory MP why he's cancelled Boris Johnson's 40 new hospital plan

Starmer: "Because the promise of 40 new hospitals didn't involve 40, didn't involve hospitals, they weren't new and they weren't funded."

[Robin Wallington @ConductorRobin]

A few tweaks here and there, as usual…
