The Great Recordings

A celebration of music and idiom. From Cortot's Chopin to Loriod's Messiaen; Adelina Patti to Rachelle Ferrell.

@LoveInner Barbirolli for No. 6

[The Great Recordings @TheGreatRecords]

One of the great chamber music recordings - https://t.co/hM9mTRLJcy

@LoveInner Heifetz/Beecham is a favourite with Neveu's recording not too far behind

[The Great Recordings @TheGreatRecords]

@LoveInner which is truly fantastic. As is the third act with Flagstad, Bockelmann/Furtwängler. Then I'd need the Bodanzky Siegfried brilliantly remastered by Pristine and the 1950 La Scala Götterdämmerung conducted again by Furtwängler.

[The Great Recordings @TheGreatRecords]

@LoveInner For a complete stereo ring then the Solti but there are essential supplements - Die Walkure - Nilsson, Vickers, London/Leinsdorf (Decca) as a replacement for the Solti Walkure (the weakest of the set) and then the first 2 acts conducted by Walter with Lehmann, Melchior, Klose...

@LoveInner Not a favourite of mine but Horenstein's performance is the once which makes it make the most sense

jk rowling is one bottle of gin away from saying that only white people can be women

[Zoe Gardner @ZoeJardiniere]

Racist speculation surrounded this unspeakable event.
Turns out he's 17 & from Cardiff.
It doesn't say a thing about Welsh people. Just as it wouldn't about any other group.

Widespread attempt to co-opt such horror for racist politics is a fucking sick reflection of our country.

[The Great Recordings @TheGreatRecords]

@LoveInner Petrenko and Ancerl!

[The Great Recordings @TheGreatRecords]

@AlexeyZiskin @LoveInner Oh yes, my mistake, it was Rodzinski

[The Great Recordings @TheGreatRecords]

@LoveInner Rozhdestvensky would be my first choice by some way!

[The Great Recordings @TheGreatRecords]

@LoveInner These are my two preferred versions too

[The Great Recordings @TheGreatRecords]

Adelina Patti's recordings provide a valuable insight into how romantic opera should be sung. Nothing pretentious, just a simple, natural way with the music which is utterly enthralling.

Anti identity politics Kemi Badenoch is going to be fuming when she hears about pro identity politics Kemi Badenoch.

[Wol @WasOnceLoved]

So what’s the ranking here, Kemi?

Obviously white men can’t criticise you.

Can white women? Or is that racist?

Can black men? But… misogyny?

You criticise the ‘woke’ yet here you are: queen snowflake, using protected characteristics to silence people.

Pathetic liar.

@PriestIncitatus I feel like I had to unfollow this account quick for being intolerably right wing
