I'm #PlayEverything in my record collection (now at 70%) but I keep buying more. Includes #DailyVinyl & #MonksMusic Here for music and art. #ASD but not in a good way. I post disability stories but avoid politics. Not a monk, don't dance

Bread and Butter Pudding
Come and See

F. Poulenc: Sextet - 2nd Movement - Musicians from OSESP
YouTube video by Alexandre Silvério F. Poulenc: Sextet - 2nd Movement - Musicians from OSESP

Tonight we’re back with Poulenc - half monk, half naughty boy. The 2nd movement of the gorgeous sextet begins with a beautiful homage to Mozart.

I know a lot of you loved the Concerto for two pianos - this is in a similar vein. Link in my bio if you’d like to join us.

On a misty day in autumn, a group of mainly women follow a tractor to gather potatoes. The figures are hunched over and you can almost feel the back pain.
