Conductor’s brother plays cello in a Kyiv bombsite
NewsFrom the Finnish conductor Dalia Stasevska:
My brother: “Haven’t touched cello in months. I’ve felt so much anger & sadness. I still remember first days of war in Kyiv,when I was honestly afraid & shocked. It’s strange,how human gets used to everything,even war. I really love this country & it’s people deserve to be free.” pic.twitter.com/uIiphFKKwC

We stand with Ukraine.

This reminds me of Celi conducting Egmont in the ruins of the Philharmonie.

Is this really in the ruins of the Philharmonie or is it a mock-up? If the former the music must have been recorded separately and dubbed on I think.

How long did it take for the civil servant to morph into a wild man.
