The most heart-warming moment of the Christmas story is, of course, when the Stegosaurus turns up

Thank you @SigSoundsRec for bringing us @chrissmither_ this evening. A breath of fresh air in tough times.
Mostly staying off Twitter but I am so glad I found this thread. Thanks, @ProfMattFox !
Epidemiologists, stuck at home with kids, need something fun? Help me with a project. I want recordings of epidemiologists interviewing their kids asking what they think our job is. Any age. Nieces, nephews, etc. as well. Record any way, even a note on your phone. #epitwitter

Really useful analysis.
We are missing the point if this story becomes about Justin Trudeau being unveiled as "a racist". Here is an opportunity to think more deeply about the situation and what allows it to be so. I'm not in any way surprised by the image that has been circulated. /1
"One lilting, lyrical reward after another" as @Sviceridor and @iainburnside launch their Schubert song-cycle series on @ChandosRecords with a mellifluous Die schöne Müllerin. My @ClassicalEar review: classicalear.co.uk/posts/NjN…

Strong persuasive advocacy for @MZevGordon's pleasingly intricate but accessible chamber music in satisfying performances from @fideliotrio and @Julian__Bliss on @resonusclassics. My review for @ClassicalEar: classicalear.co.uk/posts/YzI…
Vividly played Lutosławski and Penderecki from @michael_foyle and @MaksimStsura – aka @foylestsura_duo – in an often demanding but wholly rewarding programme on @delphianrecords. My @ClassicalEar review: classicalear.co.uk/posts/YWI…

#AllStarSymphony #MajorThird #GroupD No. 8 Sergei Rachmaninoff (1873-1943) Symphony No. 3 (1936) After a rocky initial reception from critics and audiences alike, this wonderful symphony is coming into its own at last. Oh, those Russians! youtu.be/u3VnQRMh-IA
