On A Snowy day
Feb. 10th, 2021 03:54 pmMore snow fell today and again we have a thicker covering of the damn stuff. Now the sun is out shing through my window.
Anyway, so here I am at home listening through the back catalogue of my collection.
Today I have played - so far -
Alban Berg / Arnold Schoenberg - Chamber Symphony / Concerto (Teldec)
Mark Anthony Turnage - On All Fours (NMC)
Glenn Gould - The Art of Glenn Gould (Sony)
Galina Ustvolskaya / Dmitri Shostakovich - Octet / Piano Quintet (Chandos)
Alfred Schnittke - Concerto Grosso (Deutsche Grammophon)
I had a period of buying mostly modern classical albums back in the nineties as all these here come to form that period before 1995.
I watched another sci-fi series - well the first three episodes - of Resident Al ien on Onion Play. Dark, humourous and quirky.
This is the trailer for it -
