This complements my personal account, and is for those who prefer tweets on music and my work. Currently researching Gustav Holst. Opinions my own.

Sometimes I put on Vaughan Williams and it speaks so profoundly. The textures and colours, not to mention the character(s) you encounter in Job are truly individual. No wonder Holst so believed in his friend and encouraged him in this work.
This is beautiful, and shows Holst being v close to Elgar in his more intimate and reflective mood. open.spotify.com/track/5DBdN…

I had a productive meeting with OUP today. They are working hard to get more copies printed and flown over from the US. Nevertheless, the logistics of these things take time. So again, if you want a copy for someone for Christmas, I strongly suggest you order it right now!
SOMEONE ELSE’S MUSIC: Opera and the British by @amwilson_opera is out now!
Essential reading for anybody who wants to understand the debates we are having today in the UK about arts funding, accessibility, and who the opera is ‘for’.
Order now: shorturl.at/sfWvs
Just heard that Raymond Head has died. He was one of the foremost scholars in Holst research - certainly for all his groundbreaking research into Holst’s involvement in Sanskrit and astrology. He was both a generous and honest colleague - we shall all miss him.

AI makes up nonsense. The Duchess of Kent could not have studied Music and French at the Queen's College Oxford because a) that is not a combination offered and b) Queen's was all male then. Yet this has been picked up in press obits.

Dass Lahav Shani als israelischer Künstler unter Generalverdacht gestellt und mitsamt seinem Orchester einer kollektiven Bestrafung unterworfen wird, ist ein unerträglicher Schritt der Belgier und ein erschütternder Skandal. Und ehrlich gesagt: purer Antisemitismus.

»Gustav Holst: Sāvitri« in the international @operamagazine: "This new studio recording—on a album filled up by Holst songs—with a mostly German cast and ensemble, conducted by Klaus Simon, is surely one of the very best now available." Complete review: opera.co.uk/issues/february-…

Productions such as #PeterGrimes will basically be a thing of the past. They will become occasional events, necessitating bringing in a great many freelancers only temporarily to swell the performing ranks.
But a far cry from @WelshNatOpera as we know and love it. #SaveWNO
