Celebrating Handel's 340th birthday with this absolute banger. "Handel is the greatest composer who has ever lived." - Ludwig van Beethoven

A wet and windy day in South Wales and I've got a long drive ahead of me. So #A-Haydn-A-Day is appropriately Sturm-und-Drangey (and yes, that is definitely a word) with Symphony 49.

A regular reminder that everyone who admires Donald Trump is a twat. Everyone, no exceptions.

More family stuff plus travelling for me today. Looks like I'm in for lots of storm and stress this coming week, as I catch up with two of Haydn's greatest on #A-Haydn-A-Day.

Ok this day 42 years ago Sir Adrian Boult died - his musical legacy is outstanding particularly as a champion for music that I adore Elgar, RVW, Parry, Holst, Bliss and so many more

I'm taking #A-Haydn-A-Day break today for a happy family occasion, hopefully free of storm and stress. How apt that this symphony should start with a pause ...

#A-Haydn-A-Day helps you work, rest & play! Day 93: Symphony No. 3 Happy Friday! Latest scholarship suggests this was Haydn's last symphony for Count Morzin before his new dawn at the Esterházy court. If so he left on a high: the strict-canon minuet and fugal finale are both mini-masterpieces!

#A-Haydn-A-Day keeps the doctor away Day 92: Symphony No. 71 More of Youtube's hidden Haydn gems. I've thoroughly enjoyed the performances conducted by Japan's Mr. Haydn, Hidemi Suzuki, who used to play cello in La Petite Bande and the Orchestra of the 18th Century. Shokupan for breakfast!
