Theresa May promises more Sibelius after Brexit
mainFrom our northern correspondent:
According to Finnish media reports Theresa May promised today in a speech at a meeting with the Nordic prime ministers at the Nordic Council in Oslo that basically nothing changes with Brexit:
‘We listen to Sibelius ( …) and some of us even on occasions dance to tunes by Abba. – – We will not be turning our backs on the Nordic countries.’
Okay, Norway is not in the EU, but why did she leave Denmark out? The country of Nielsen, Langgaard and Nørgård… once again overlooked by music lovers.
==The country of Nielsen,
I’ve always found Nielsen very nerdy
I have made many attempts to like Nielsen, so far without success. My fault certainly.
Have you tried the 5th symphony as conducted by Leonard Bernstein? If that doesn’t do the trick, nothing will.
She can dance to Abba if she wants. Just hope she doesn’t progress her dance ‘routine’ to the last movement of the Sibelius Violin Concerto!
The Brexiteers just want their cake with extra whipped cream, a cherry on top, with chocolate syrup and to eat it too; guilt free, no calories, no diabetes, no weight gain, no trips to the dentist…
Too bad that’s not how it works.
I guess some people should have thought it through for a little while before making such a rash, irreversible decision.
“some people”
You mean 17,410,742 people. The ones who want the sort of independence already enjoyed by Australia, New Zealand etc. That is how it works.
And when the food banks are finn-ished ?
She also can sway an ancient nordic dance on a coming Halloween party and say that her blood has a bit of Nordic one too ( like the blood of the most part of Britons). Not Salome ,nevertheless it would be even more convincing for them 😉
