On 29 January 1912, the full ballet of Ravel's Ma mère l'Oye received its premiere. What are your favorite recordings of this masterpiece? Here's four of mine. Amazing how many are on DG. Ozawa's is my favorite by a fair measure.

I desperately need “progressive” straight “allies”, especially in mainstream media, to stop speaking for and about the lesbian, gay, and transsexual population—or, as you like to call us, the “LGBTQIA+ community.” We are not a monolith. And your reductive takes are stupid.

Terribly sad to hear about Glenda Jackson. One of our greatest actresses. An unforgettable performer imprinted on my memory as far back as I can remember.
Deepest condolences to @DPJHodges , family & friends.
RIP Glenda Jackson.
