I’m on my way home after watching The Brutalist in cinema. Wow, what a film👏

Am going through the painful steps of reconnecting gadgets after updating my wifi router, meaning switching to new router, which means new network, new password, new everything. Sigh! How often do you update your network at home?

Virkeligt stærk klumme af Klaus Wivel i dag! “Måske føler han virkelig, at kan man stå imod Putin, kan man også stå imod Trump. Zelenskyj fortjener i så fald at kaldes den frie verdens leder. Den titel er på det seneste blevet ledig.”

“Never again” demands action — Ukraine is fighting for all of us, writes Odesa Association of Jews Chairman Roman Shvartsman in his op-ed.

I was at a theatre this evening & missed the news from Washington. Am now catching up, and this video says what I believe in. Do watch it! #SlavaUkraina

Aaand, #NowStreaming brand new album with wonderful Trio con Brio Copenhagen 🤩🤩🤩https://app.idagio.com/albums/harmonie-du-soir?utm_source=pcl

Working on a couple of highly strategic projects today, so I'm letting this lovely album fill my ears and give me inspiration as well as abstraction 😎 #classicalmusic #idagio #lcorchestra #pappano app.idagio.com/albums/ravel...

Fint interview med Aqqaluk Lynge om Grønland her, da, og nu i (af alle steder) Politiken: https://politiken.dk/del/xRxHGbAExyjQ

Unknown test recordings - in stereo! - with conductor Nicolai Malko dating from 1954 and 1956 are discovered in the Danish radio archives. www.dr.dk/om-dr/gensyn...

Persistence, my friends! In my fourth attempt, I managed to get through to #DRKoncertHuset's service line and swap my T1 ticket for Luisi and Messiaën's Turangalila to a concert with Herbert Blomstedt conducting Bruckner. Yay!🥳 #classicalmusic

Så efter snak i kontoret, har jeg lige begyndt en DMI startpakke, det vil siger, folk på blåhimmel der arbejder på DMI. Hvis du er en kollega jeg ikke har fundet her endnu, sig til og jeg tilføjer dig glædelig... go.bsky.app/5yrAXYZ

Also this evening, I’m listening to this new album: https://app.idagio.com/albums/guess-who

This evening, I saw a peaceful protest outside the Russian embassy in Copenhagen because it’s an astounding 3 years since the full-scale invasion started 🤯

Nordic leaders on their way to Ukraine by train ❤️🇺🇦

Three years on, and Ukraine remains free but besieged. And as the Prez says here, much is achieved but nothing to celebrate.... Slava Ukraina!

I’m watching the first episode of the third season of The White Lotus. Oh, such a fan🤩

Good morning to readers, Kyiv remains in Ukrainian hands. Sucking up to Trump, who views friendship as leverage, won't work. Standing up to a bully may be uncomfortable but firmly extracting security guarantees and denying him an easy victory is the only option.

This evening, I’m finally watching Tom Hanks as Otto in the US version of the Swedish (modern) classic where the man is called Ove. It’s on Netflix, though. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7405458/

Last night, I attended the annual performance from the budding opera stars from the Royal Danish Opera Academy. This year, they did a reality show version of Xerxes😎. No pics of the singers, but here’s the band: #aboutlastnight #opera #kglteater

DON'T THINK OF AN ELEPHANT: Europæiske ledere går i bedste mening skiftevis i rette med trumps udtalelser om Zelenskyj: "Han er ikke diktator." Dermed bidrager de uutilsigtet til at gentage budskabet. De skulle snarere sige: "trump spreder desinformation." Man kan ikke ikke-tænke på en elefant.

The sounds of war in the sky of Kyiv right now

Det er 20 år siden, jeg forlod Søværnet og Forsvaret, og dog kommer denne nyhed overhovedet ikke bag på mig. Hvem er med mig? www.berlingske.dk/indland/svim...

I’m packing for a business trip to another European country tomorrow - how many of you can’t wait until we no longer have to fit our entire bathroom into a one litre plastic bag?

I made it! No time for “fika”, but I’m ready for my second ever Salome! Don’t know any of the performers, but hopefully I’ll enjoy it more than when I saw it in Copenhagen! #opera #malmoopera #strauss

And I haven’t even heard all of them😎

Central Copenhagen. And yes, this is completely legal, since a bike is also a vehicle in the sense of the law regulating road traffic.

I will hear Copenhagen Phil play Mahler 5 and a new concerto by wonderful Mizzy Marsolis in the beautiful former radio symphony hall 😎

"Suddenly, and not accidentally, people who work for the American federal government are having the same experience as people who find themselves living under foreign occupation" www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Working from home, in need of some Tannhäuser, and stumbled across this album: app.idagio.com/albums/wagne...

#NowPlaying and yes, streaming, but still a charming version of the Goldberg variations #Bach https://classical.music.apple.com/dk/album/1783495920?l=en-GB

#NowPlaying this lovely album - but yes, streaming rather than playing, admittedly. https://classical.music.apple.com/dk/album/1782559640?l=en-GB

Oho! New Lohengrin production at Malmö Opera next season - lots of names from our region, such as John Lundgren as Telramund: https://www.malmoopera.se/forestallningar/lohengrin

Not my Beethoven at all, but oh how I love this version by Jon Batsiste! https://classical.music.apple.com/dk/album/1769426743?l=en-GB

#OTD (Feb 11) in the year 1902: birth of Arne Jacobsen, Danish architect, designed Radisson Blu Royal Hotel (d. 1971) #OTDIH #history 🗃️

Dybt rørende reportage fra Lviv om benamputerede i Ukraine af @kruse.bsky.social i Berlingeren. Soldater, civile, for fastfrysning og imod fastfrysning af fronten. God journalistik! #dkpol https://www.berlingske.dk/internationalt/han-husker-dagen-han-husker-minuttet-vi-var-200-mand-nu-er-der-tolv

Concerto Copenhagen gave me Mozart, Druschetzky, Mysliveček, Michael AND Joseph Haydn so two #A-Haydn-A-Day 😎 #EineKleineFestmusik #periodinstruments

A fine analysis of the Danish tv show The Opera Trip (Operarejsen): "It is revelatory TV. With a nonchalant, breezy ease, it solves the perennial problem of how we present, introduce and discuss complex and esoteric art for a mainstream audience." www.gramophone.co.uk/opera-now/op...

I came home late tonight because the heating was off. But now the plumbing folks tell us there’s a delay in getting heating back. Sigh. At least it’s not freezing outside 🙄

I want to focus on some creative work this morning, so Schubert to the rescue! #classicialmusic #idagio app.idagio.com/albums/schub...
