Any day I don’t know what to play, I put on Beethoven’s Pastoral Symphony played by Martha Argerich.

Yes, you read that right.

The veteran pianist plays the symphony four-hand with Theodosia Ntokou (new to me).

It’s like nothing you’ve ever heard.

The most musical account of the Pastoral since…. Bruno Walter, maybe.

I’m starting to imagine it can beat Covid.
