Very little music today, sleep, viola practice, medical appointment, tuba practice, all conspired to keep me from listening. So just, in the car:

A fantastic concert. Sparkling in the first half, and profound in the second (although the first movement of the Brahms was just a shade under the tempo I usually like it). Was also lovely to meet some twitter friends, @wheresrunnicles and @_jojohnson_. And always wonderful to hear live music of course.

Plans to listen to Janacek Opera were thwarted by a love for:
Brahms - Symphony No.1, Serenade No.2
That was all - on repeat. Toscanini at the helm of recordings from 1941 & 1942.
Bliss, paradise, wonderment!
The 1st Symphony has 2 of my top moments (2nd & 4th movements)
The 2nd Serenade has no violins! Hurrah for the alto clef brigade who lead this one! :-)

It's been the sort of day where Pendulum is deeply soothing. I went to a Pendulum gig a year and a bit ago when I was very ill and found it very therapeutic. Going to see them again this year, which is VERY good news!

Didn't really listen to any music today.
However, that isn't quite true - I spent much of the day in front of the TV, including watching a Poirot that had constant Satie throughout.
Hard to describe days like these, where I don't really listen to any music, but I hear quite a lot, although too difficult to describe.
One of the dilemmas of the Ears!
