@WholeFoods It was at Columbia Circle in NY. I remember when WholeFoods prominently displayed when foods, vegetables and groceries were conventional and not organic.

I sorely miss @wholefoods in Germany… back in the USA for the first time in 3 years, I went with anticipation to pick up a lunch from the self-service. Mentioned to an assistant I assumed the chicken is organic to be told NONE of the cooked food’s organic. What has changed here?

I don’t know how these numbers are computed but I am chuffed that this nice crowd of monks I recorded are no.1!

enjoyed open-air Aida yesterday in Naples with Jonas Kaufmann. Here the socially distanced chorus behind the not-so-distanced orchestra.

Much enjoyed @igorpianist 's podcast about the LvB op.2 sonatas and wonder why the piano examples he plays there sounds so much better than the actual CD, at least on my small kitchen radio...

Most courier services seem difficult to contact but @Hermesparcels customers’ service take the biscuit! Emails and phone calls to their ‘hot’ lines remain unanswered and the whereabouts of a parcel remains a mystery. I fear I’ll have to engage a lawyer.

@hisafranko I’ve been emailing you to confirm my reservation restaurant and hotel 27th October but get no response. Also tried to phone but no reply so please give me another address or phone number!!

Just arrived in beautiful Sacile to record at the Fazioli concert hall with Giuseppe Albanese. But first some pasta!

Have been enjoying recording symphonies by Ter-Tadevosyan and Terterian in Yerevan Armenia. The music was new to me but most stimulating and emotional and well played by the State Symphony Orchestra conducted by Sergey Smbatyan. Lovely city, great food, enjoyable experience.

@Uber_Support My phone number is [phone]

[Chris Alder @chrisalder]

Terrible service @Uber_Support Wrote a direct message to them about an issue and explained their FAQ help page did not correctly address this issue. So what do they answer? Yes, you guessed! Sent me a link to their website FAQ again!! Idiots!

On the way to my recording this morning thought I’d visit the CD shop at Beck’s department store in Munich. This is just for classical music! Nostalgic tears of gratitude came to this producer’s eyes!

[Chris Alder @chrisalder]

Heard a great performance of Shostakovich 7 today in Madrid with the Orquesta Nacionales conducted by David Afkham.

[Chris Alder @chrisalder]

Off to Shanghai to record a new concerto with Maxim Vengerov. Slightly nervous as my hotel homepage finishes with “Fenyang Garden Hotel does not give you an easy trip” and hope something was lost in translation.

Normal Venice scene, I know. But who asked the priest if they can fix their washing line to his church?

[Chris Alder @chrisalder]

If it interests anyone here’s our set-up for the recording with Argerich and Babayan at Schloss Elmau

[Chris Alder @chrisalder]

Feeling slightly shattered after recording with Argerich until 5 this morning. Now on the way to the airport and home.
