‘Is it a #coded message, an exercise in #numerol

‘Is it a #coded message, an exercise in #numerology. Is it a glorious attempt to marry old and new, or is it a #nocturnal, private, #fanciful tale?’ #Russian-born Pavel #Kolesnikov @kolesnikovpianist asked these questions and more when he took up the challenge of #deciphering one of the undeniable peaks of the piano repertoire, #Bach’s ‘#Goldberg’ #Variations. In the lead up to his #soloperformance @bbc_proms, he spoke to @yuliachaplinapiano. Read more and listen in on their conversation via the ‘latest article’ tab in our bio. The booking link for Pavel’s performance this Friday, September 10th is also attached 💃🏻

The 4th episode of podcast “Talking Music by Olg

The 4th episode of podcast “Talking Music by Olga Jegunova” @olgajegunova is about #friendship.
You may wonder why a podcast on #classical music suddenly touches upon a relationship theme? #Plato said that music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything. Indeed, music is about life as everything that we do and think, fear and dream, has already been expressed through music. Friendship amongst it, of course. Not to mention the recent Harvard research saying that happiness is all about happy relationships. Also, there are great examples of strong friendships in music, such as between #Mozart and #Haydn, #Debussy and #Satie, #Brahms and #Schumann, ravel and #Gershwin, #Mahler and #Strauss. But today’s episode is fully dedicated to the main expert of friendship, a Roman #philosopher #Cicero.
