![]() His music, like most Enlightenment music, but more so simply by dint of its extraordinary quality, traverses those subtle, intimate regions where small shades of meaning can mean so much, like furtive glances across a room. But Mozart always operates at this scale, even in his mightiest works. Pieces which operate at a more human scale can be lost in this. Nothing in Mahler 2 or The Rite of Spring is moderate. All of those works, whilst supreme masterpieces, deal with extremes above all. ![]() ![]() This muscular power we seem as a society to tend to prioritise is not Mozart's way. For me, the works which garner most unanimous appreciation have perhaps been the tougher, more dramatic ones: Beethoven 5 over Beethoven 4 or 6 Brahms 4 over Brahms 2 or 3 Verdi Requiem over Don Carlos, Othello or Falstaff Stravinsky Rite of Spring over Petrouchka, Agon or Symphony in C Mahler 2 over Das Lied Von Der Erde or Kindertotenlieder. The issue of why Mozart is a stranger in our messed-up, impatient, overstimulated world, and why we need to approach him on different (musical) terms than the armour-plated ones we use to navigate our daily lives today if we are to appreciate what makes him so special. ![]()

Paul Oliver wrote for jazz magazines in the 1950s, so it's quite possible that Peel, who admitted that he bought such magazines at that time but knew little about jazz, might have read some of Oliver's early writings on the blues. The latter book was " one of the first efforts to examine closely the music’s language and subject matter." (Read more at Wikipediaīefore the Blues - Paul Oliver - BBC - Radio - 1987 His first book on the blues, a biography of Bessie Smith, was published in 1959, followed by Blues Fell this Morning: The Meaning of the Blues in 1960. ![]() Oliver was a leading authority on the blues and gospel music, described in the New York Times as "a scrupulous researcher with a fluent writing style, opened the eyes of readers in Britain and the United States to a musical form that had been overlooked and often belittled." He published his first article in Jazz Journal in 1951. He "was equally distinguished in both fields, although it is likely that aficionados of one of his specialties were not aware of his expertise in the other."

Brief Summary of Book: Complicated by Jimmy Tudeski ![]() The pearl thief by elizabeth wein6/11/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Rose wasn’t quite the book that Verity was and I really did not care for the narration. Verity was a stunning book and a chilling listen, five stars all around. I steeled myself to listen to Elizabeth Wein’s “The Pearl Thief” (2017), a prequel to “Code Name Verity” (2012) and “Rose Under Fire” (2013). It is also a powerful portrayal of a community under pressure and one girl's determination for justice.
