A Trojan War themed opera season

Many strings – It’s about filming a commercial for a violin shop. I like the photos.

The troubled history of Schumann’s D minor Violin Concerto – I haven’t heard this one yet. I’m not a Schumann fan but this is intriguing.

Spinning Beethoven – Statistics. What fun. (And isn’t that clock just about the music-geekiest thing you’ve seen?)

A depressingly long list of musicians who have died recently.

Robert discovers the harpsichord – Listen to the GV recording by Ton Koopman. It’s heavenly.
