    I'd never have imagined I'd start a thread about Bruckner, but...

    An American blog about Radio 3. I couldn't resist it:

    BOOM'S DUNGEON
    http://boomboomsky.blogspot.com
    Much of what is in this blog is related (sometimes only tangentially) to art music. Occasionally I use insensitive language in referring to various arrogant or incompetent assholes who managed to get on my nerves. If you're squeamish about such language, then stay away from this blog. To contact me, use boomboomsky at gmail dot com.

    He or she is rather naughty... The item about 'unconvincing-looking' opera singers is... trenchant, for instance.

    However the blog offered a picture - of DSCH apparently having fun in a 'photo-me' booth - that I'd never seen before and find irresistible..!
    "...the isle is full of noises,
    Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
    Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
    Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

        He's there, just younger - and hasn't bought the hat yet.

        No, not your trend. I just find photos of Dmitri Dmitrievich grinning rather fascinating and spooky... and touching.

          I'd always thought, with that battered old pork pie hat that it was a rather myopic, down and out friend of Cali.

            I'm relieved. I like this site - there's often good downloadable recordings (ad the avatar's excellent, if risky!).

              I know what you mean Cali - he's not supposed to have been happy, ever - surely?

              Great pic

                Shostakovich? Harry Worth?? I'd always thought it was Albert Tatlock!

                  a complete unknown , of course, until he featured on the B side of the Skids "into the Valley".

                  Well, he was unknown to me, at any rate !!

                  We had a "Harry Worth" mirror at my first job.
                  I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.

                  I am not a number, I am a free man.
