Christmas time is Bach time and this aria from the Weihnachtsoratorium has been stuck in my head for the past days.

This is the spirit crypto could have (again) if we weren't so eager to become just another sector of hyperfinancialization eating the soul.
Egmont is a play about rising against oppressors, a very Beethoven theme to treat.

When I die, they should play this at my funeral.
Bruch considered it one of his best works, I think so too.

The older I get, the more chamber music creeps up on me. Until last year, I never listened to any piano trio; now it's among my favorite things.
And helps that guys playing cello I have a soft spot for (despite having met some and their personalities weren't always great haha).

here a very niche recommendation i got last weekend by people playing in that mandolin/plucked strings orchestra.
the piece itself was written after the composer witnessed a flood catastrophe and you can hear it in the most haunting, and beautiful ways. the screams, the waves, and in the end the silence.

God bless social media!
It's only thanks to them that I managed to find these works I published over 10 years ago. Of all the art I've made in my life, these three rough sketches remain the closest to my heart.
Stravinsky's ballets. The last image is presumably related to The Firebird.
