@maximusbillz @NewYorker Terry Glavin is an idiot obsessed with China.

@SBelleofAL @nytimes @jessesingal Probably as a “healthcare professional” you only treat MAGA patients and secretly poison others.

As China’s intellectual landscape shrinks, young people face a sense of loss and pain. Back in the 1980s, an earlier generation was inspired by a remarkable series of "little white books" that opened up new vistas--inspiration for the present?👇latest @MinjianArchives newsletter.

Deeply saddened by the passing of Italian historian Carlo Ginzburg. The Night Battles and Ecstasies inspired my study of historical witchcraft. His at times controversial scholarship transformed European historiography. He will be greatly missed. R.I.P., Professor.

@ClassicalCritic @BACH_JohannSeb @Bach330 @sonyclassical @SonyClassicalUK Completely irrelevant, but just want to point out Xiao-mei is her first name. Zhu is the last name.

@infoglobe Does the music travel from summit to summit with no rest in valleys and shadows below? This was my impression last year listening to it live in a performance by National Symphony Orchestra under Gianandrea Noseda.

If you want to see what an absolute command of the English language looks like then read Lolita.

[Eleonor Bindman @EleonorBindman]

Apparently, Wanda Landowska played for Leo Tolstoy: “Knowing how to listen is a great art…. I shall never forget the days I spent at Tolstoy’s home nor the hours I played for him. He adored music and he knew how to listen admirably…” 🎶

Ritwik Ghatak on Sergei Eisenstein, Vsevolod Pudovkin, and Alexander Dovzhenko:

"Eisenstein, Pudovkin, and, in a way, Dovshenko discovered a new artistic language in films. The first two were not only film makers, but were also among the first film theorists of the world."

— “Cinema and I” by Ritwik Ghatak, published posthumously in 1987

@ClassicalCritic Fun fact : Barry Humphries, creator of Dame Edna Everage, mentions the composer a couple of times in his autobiography “More please”. Humphries also had a first edition copy of Milos Safranek's book, Bohuslav Martinů: The Man and His Music (1944).

@RadiantFilm To be honest, he made a film greater than any of these films.

[Maxx Collodi @MaxColllodi]

@TimKaymak @davidcinema Completely different how? All Hong Kong films are Chinese language films either in Cantonese or Mandarin (majority of Shaw Brothers Studio kung fu productions were in Mandarin). The personnel are fluid, so are the market, production and aesthetics. https://t.co/INzFQBU1jt
