Schubert’s black-winged demon of sorrow
In 1827 Franz Schubert held a candle during Beethoven’s funeral. Distressed by the death of the composer he revered above all others, Schubert’s thoughts turned to his own poor health and growing sense of mortality.

Jean Sibelius: A voyage of discovery
Is anything more beautiful than the symphonies of Sibelius? Well, of course – from time to time. Two of these uplifting works are just over 100 years old, but they sound as fresh and bracing as the landscapes from which they were hewn. Continue reading Untitled

Antediluvian Glenn Beck tries to sink Noah
Isn’t it strange what some people get fired up about? If it were severe drought, or famine, or plague, or armed violence, or forcibly seizing part of another country, it would be understandable. But a film? In this day and age. A film about Noah’s Ark? (more…)
