New York Philharmonic. Mirga Grazinyte-Tyla, conductor; Daniil Trifonov, piano. October 13, 2023.

Schumann (1810-56).Selections from Lemminkainen Suite, Op. 22 (1895, last rev. 1939).The drawing card on the program for most people was most likely Trifonov who at 32 has been a reliable (perhaps sensational is the better adjective) soloist for about 10 years.And the piece did not disappoint.

Classical music has a salary envy problem
Godwin's rule of Hitler analogies states that once Hitler is mentioned that discussion is ended, because the level of discourse has deteriorated so far further communication is pointless. Which means that whoever mentioned Hitler has lost the argument. I now propose a new rule based on Godwin's law: namely that once Gary Lineker is mentioned in a discussion about the BBC Singers, whoever mentioned Gary Lineker has lost the argument. First a disclaimer. I am not a football fan and I believe disbanding the BBC Singers is a mistake. But I also live in the real world and see that classical music is doing an appalingly bad job at defending the BBC Singers. BBC TV's Match of the Day fronted by Gary Lineker has a weekly audience of around 2.5 million viewers, and Lineker's on-screen presence guarantees a massive license fee loyalty that helps fund the BBC's classical music activities.
