Tom Cora

I really loved the music of this improvising cellist. I have been playing his music on the limited releases he has been on this afternoon.

Rite of Spring

Whilst you may love or curse YouTube or is it GooTube, they often have some surprising and interesting posts - such as this one on Classics Explained.

Episode 10: The Rite of Spring by Igor Stravinsky

I have three versions of this on CD, by Stravinsky, by Boulez and by Bernstein.





These are the three best recordings in my opinion and the one I will choose is the Boulez. A rip from a vinyl copy before being reissued onto CD - the Cleveland orchestra weer in excellent form on this.

The Friday Five

1) What would you do with more physical storage space?

2) What would you do with more living space?

3) Would you rather have more kitchen counter space or kitchen cabinet space?

4) What would you do with a larger bedroom?

5) What’s taking up too much space in your brain lately?

Weekend Brain Teaser

Yes, another couple to get your lateral thinking brains going.

How would you size up compromising photos in 1946, a ransom demand in 1998, and sleight of hand on the stock market in 2015?

Take a mythical ship, load it with goods, and send it first to a city in North Dakota, and then to a city in Florida, slowly. The connection?

No googling. Answer on Sunday.
