Why Mahler
Can Gergiev still do Mahler?
Early in his international career, Valery Gergiev professed…
I thought interactive audience participation was all the rage these days!
At least it wasn’t with a sheep.
I guess I best enjoy my youth while I can, if 47 and 48 resp. turns one into “old people”.
So, at 73 is a miracle I’m still alive. Nowadays, “old age” begins at 80!
No kidding. I was picturing some obscenity with walkers or other tools for coping while wrinkly. There people are just adults — hardly oldies.
Must be something in the coffee that affects common sense, accuracy, fairness, etc. Because spite, misleading-to-dead-wrong information, prejudices for and against certain artists, are becoming a more and more prevalent feature of this site.
This is why Ravel’s “Bolero” can’t be programmed any more.
Or Scriabin’s 8th Piano Sonata.
In the wretched weather we’ve had this Summer? Makes one proud to be British!
Is commenting on the story without reading it, a British custom too? This “crime” was committed last year when the weather was (wasn’t it?) less “wretched” . And by the way, it happened in September, so the first sentence of the post does not make much sense either.
=One man who was near the couple at the time, Mike Holden, filmed them on his phone.
Haha, this peeping-Tom should be prosecuted too
They were showing love for each other but this was deemed as being “revolting”….
Judge Charles Wide QC told the couple they “both need to be taught a lesson by being fined” for this “particularly revolting behaviour”.
Who wins Prig of the Week prize, the judge or the Peeping Tom who leeringly took a photo then claimed to have been shocked? Hyde Park has obviously changed a lot since my youth when it was an idyllic place for free love.
Hampstead Heath is I believe more tolerant.
