So you tear up with a poem today
Body and Soul
Charles Wright
Some poems exist still on the other side of our lives
but we'll never see them.
They are unutterable, in a language without an alphabet.
Unseen. Word-long. Bone music.
We'd know them by heart
if we could summer them out in our wounds
Oh, it was stunning!! I’m sure you’d approve—it was an amazing powerful performance by Philly symphony.

Hey Friends,
Where does one stay in Vienna, Austria these days?
Neighborhoods?
Things to see?
Places to eat?
We need advice!
Danke!
Can’t wait, soo looking forward to it 😘

Poets are a Midas that turns anything on a poem
Midas
Doris Kareva
All that he touches turns to poetry.
And tears lump in the throat.

Honoring the great Austrian cellist and conductor Nikolaus Harnoncourt, who passed away a decade ago today. His cycle of the Beethoven symphonies on Teldec was a revelation then.

Hit me up with one track from your favorite playlist and I’ll add into my travel playlist for today.
Any genre.

People's ideas of what classical geeks are like: omg so smart and sophisticated and refined!
Actual classical music geeks: debate all day about which Haydn symphony fart joke is the funniest. Team #51 here!

Two orchestra violinists. Musician 1: Every time we play The Creation, we're stuck with these 70 year old parts that are impossible to read, and smell like... Musician 2: Formalde-Haydn?
😅I’ve spent most of my adult life inadvertently disabusing the notion that classical nerds are smart ‘n stuff 🤪.
Awesome on the fart jokes hiding in plain sight! #ClassicalMusic
Those are some “happy little trees” there…
