Oh my . . .

Put out more flags - there are some new extracts from that BBC Proms 2010 Rodgers and Hammerstein concert on YouTube. Yes, the one that I couldn't stop blogging about. Here's Julian Ovenden singing 'Soliloquy' from Carousel.The lip-synch may not be great but who cares?  An exceptional voice for an exceptional song.

No additional words needed from me, I think. (Except to ask whoever is in charge of these things could they please issue a DVD of the complete concert, pronto. Thank you.)

Love it! Also really enjoyed the Last Night this year. Seemed rather poignant falling on 9/11 and Renee Fleming was perfect.

Great - another fan! And do agree about Renee Fleming, Milo; those Strauss songs were sublime.

Thought for life

  • The House of Breath, William Goyen
    We are the carriers of lives and legends - who knows the unseen frescoes on the private walls of the skull?

Thinking about . . .

  • Daniel Klein, Travels with Epicurus
    I too listen to music more and more. Throughout my life, music has stirred me more than any other art form, and now, in old age, I find myself listening to it almost every evening, usually alone, for hours at a time.
  • Julia Blackburn, Thin Paths
    I began writing because I liked to write things down. I learnt foreign languages because they seemed to enter my head by a process of osmosis.
  • Joan Bakewell, Stop the Clocks
    I live contentedly alone. It's better that way and I am often thoughtful about what has been and what might have been. There are many like me.
  • Patti Smith, M Train
    Oh to be reborn within the pages of a book.
  • Patti Smith, M Train
    Why is it that we lose the things we love, and things cavalier cling to us and will be the measure of our worth after we’re gone?
  • Judith Kerr, Observer Magazine, 22 November 2015
    I don't believe in God. I find it much easier to believe in ancestors. I like to imagine they are pointing us in the right direction.
