Trump is too old, too unhinged, and too unstable for the most demanding job in the world.

[Iffy Pop @iffypopireland]

Quincy Jones RIP.

Here he is reassuring an uncomfortable Dylan through his We Are The World performance.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

If Donald Trump is elected:

The struggle against climate change is over.

Women will lose the right to control their own bodies.

We'll have no shot at raising the minimum wage.

Humanitarian aid will not reach starving people in Gaza.

Do not sit this election out.

Legend of legends and he'll go down in the shortlist of the greatest ever. RIP Q.

Unearthed audio of Steve Bannon from 2020: “What Trump is gonna do is declare victory. That doesn’t mean he’s the winner. He’s just gonna say he’s the winner… He’s just gonna say they stole it. Trump is gonna do some crazy shit”

Since I heard him with the Tonkünstlerorchester in 2015, Augustin Hadelich is definitely one of my favorite violinists of all time.

[Björn Carlén @violabjorn]

That’s a first one for me.

#AllanPettersson 12, page 12-13. Start practising NOW if you’re planning on playing this piece within the next ten years or so.

Kudos to #UlfWallin who plays the #AllanPettersson Concerto #2 like a champ. Power, élan and finesse.

[Björn Carlén @violabjorn]

Surprised and delighted by the orchestral works by #LiliBoulanger, "D'un matin de printemps" as well as "D'un soir triste"!

[Björn Carlén @violabjorn]

Playing an instrument takes devotion. After a week of negligence, the skills are gone.

[Björn Carlén @violabjorn]

#MichailJurowski was in a good mood this week. And when he is, he's just an amazing conductor.
