Very sad to hear of the death of Sofia Gubaidulina. I was introduced to her music through Simon Rattle's 90s documentary 'Leaving Home'. Rattle introduced her 'Zeitgestalten', which described a vision she had of lifting a floorboard in her apartment to reveal hell. youtu.be/AkMksgl-xUc?...

Really enjoying listening to @marinafrolova.bsky.social talking to Andrew McGregor about different recordings of Tchaikovsky’s Romeo & Juliet Fantasy Overture on @bbcradio3bot.bsky.social. I find it so touching that Tchaikovsky kept tinkering with this piece and love what he left us.
