Enigma Variations—Edgar Elgar
Variations on an original theme
Op. 36, Enigma
A nice way to start the day
Beethoven’s eighth symphony. However, I have just been inspired to play the Enigma Variations next.
Gus Chambers’ Halloween Show on MTPR, Montana Public Radio.
It will be re-aired at midnight (mdt). Always a great theme show by this host.
MTPR offers the best fm radio music radio I’ve heard besides the venerable old time fm great, KSAN out of San Francisco. Long live free form formats!
Classics IV & ARS…![]()
Tremendous!
Zero 7 (with Sia) and The XX are really modern classics imho, some of the best music I’ve heard this century.
I was lucky enough to catch SIA in 2008 at the Grüne Salon@Volksbühne in Berlin, a tiny venue with room for maybe 100 peeps tops. This was before she sobered up, and before she got way too dance-clubby for me. One of the best shows I’ve been to.
