Today is the birthday of the Dutch master Johannes Vermeer. One of these is by him and the other isnโt. But which is which?

Aged 13, thanks to the late Alan Taylor, my schoolโs inspirational head of music, I sang Maurice Greeneโs Lord, Let Me Know Mine End at the Berlin Bach Festival. Tonight Iโm hearing it @wigmore_hall.

This new performance of Brittenโs Serenade ravishingly sung & played by thrillingly relaxed-sounding @laurence_kilsby + Christopher Parkes is a knockout.
But John Wilson making 34 zesty @SinfoniaOfLondn players sound like an octet in the Walton with such clarity is staggering.

As beautifully done as it is authoritative.
A few thoughts for @THR on the class act and consummate professional that was the great Patrick Stewart. RIP

A work - or at least a title - of genius.
All hail the Bishopsgate Instituteโs LGBTQIA curators for disinterring this pulp fiction masterpiece.

In 1979, the genre-busting, game-playing Cloud Nine hilariously exploded sex and gender stereotypes in a way that had never been seen on stage. It made the name of playwright Caryl Churchill and from Nov 2, with perfect timing, itโs @NationalTheatre

This isnโt going to win food photo prizes - the bowl is too full, for starters - but I have to say that @waitrose Food Magโs suitably wintery Cherry tomato, butter bean and harissa soup is easy to make and rather delicious. waitrose.com/ecom/recipe/chโฆ

Following the sad death of the pianist Stephen Kovacevich, I am reminded of this..
@larkingrumple @ProfDomMcHugh Seen in Harold Mooreโs record shop: on a poster announcing that Stephen Bishop-Kovacevich would henceforth be known as Stephen Kovacevich, some wag had written: โAnd Colin Davis will henceforth be known as Mildred Pierce.โ
