Angelic Choir

When I was living and working in Wien there were lots of things about my life that were very different to the ‘normal’ that I had become used to.  Perhaps none more so than the Sunday routine which was slightly strange in that all of a sudden I had nothing that I HAD to do on a Sunday.  More often than not I would find a concert to attend – there was certainly no lack of choice in the city and my flat was within walking distance of the Musikverein, the Konzerthaus and the Staatsoper.

A Man And His Music

Doing my daily “silent desert island discs” challenge on Facebook got me thinking that it would be better with sound. There are lots of folks who share great music already and I’ve noticed some have even started doing their own lists – Music and Creative Arts are sharing their “Self Isolation Discs”. I have no intention of nominating others for this – but if you like the idea then please join in – and I know that my selection will not be to everyone’s taste – but it would be good to get some feed back. Hopefully somewhere along the line I will introduce you to something you like!

Welcome to Music

This set of posts started out as a daily post on Facebook during the “lockdown times” in 2020/21 – sharing pieces of music that had some sort of ‘connection’ for me. They are, of course, a bit difficult to find on FB after all this time so I decided to recreate them here – alongside the many comments that were made on the original posts. Now that they have all been ported across I have started to add some extra posts to expand the original selection.
