Jonathan Morgan @jonathanmorgan2.bsky.social · 02/09/2026This evening’s Spritz. @davidhewson.com will recognize the spot! 130
Jonathan Morgan @jonathanmorgan2.bsky.social · 01/09/2026Looking rather spectacular yesterday evening on our walk to Gelateria Nico 121
Jonathan Morgan @jonathanmorgan2.bsky.social · 31/08/2026Some excellent value food and drink here in Venice’s Santa Marta district today. First pic shows the bargain €5 Spritz & snack deal at Carovansara, and second pic is at Osteria Bakan: €15 lunch, including primo, secondo, coffee, and wine/Spritz. Very local for us: that’s our bedroom window opposite! 030
Jonathan Morgan @jonathanmorgan2.bsky.social · 27/08/2026Yes, in August it’s well worth staying a bit on the periphery! Rehearsals start soon for this project: I’m sackbutting, and Philippa is singing, with lots of old friends & colleagues involved. 020
Jonathan Morgan @jonathanmorgan2.bsky.social · 27/08/2026Second evening in Venice, so two spritzes down so far. This evening at Carovansara, conveniently just round the corner from our apartment (thanks to @davidhewson.com for the rec); yesterday at Bar Blu (@robinsaikia.bsky.social’s little guidebook). 392
Jonathan Morgan @jonathanmorgan2.bsky.social · 07/08/2026Thanks for the recipe! Had this tonight, over some thinner noodles, and with minced pork, because that’s what was in the freezer… (pork & aubergine a classic combo, of course). 152
Jonathan Morgan @jonathanmorgan2.bsky.social · 05/07/2026#NowPlaying This is Very Good! Superb orchestral playing, and a marvellously clear but warm recorded sound. Honeck’s interpretation is often quite interventionist but never for the sake of it; details of articulation and dynamics are minutely observed. 030
Jonathan Morgan @jonathanmorgan2.bsky.social · 26/02/2026Magnificent! But I also like this, spotted at Minsmere a couple of weeks ago. 080
Jonathan Morgan @jonathanmorgan2.bsky.social · 19/02/2026Wagner Tuba time! Bruckner 8, Philharmonia, RFH tonight. 020
Jonathan Morgan @jonathanmorgan2.bsky.social · 09/02/2026Ah well, there I am, on the fringes of the UK classical music community - quite apt, I think… 011
Jonathan Morgan @jonathanmorgan2.bsky.social · 17/01/2026Wonderfully eclectic programme tonight at Kings Place 040
Jonathan Morgan @jonathanmorgan2.bsky.social · 27/12/2025On TGV heading north, near Dijon. Snowy fields, and Johannes Martin Kränzle’s powerful new Winterreise streaming through my earbuds. I saw his marvellous Alberich in the Berlin Ring, 2024; he recorded this Winterreise later that year. 020
Jonathan Morgan @jonathanmorgan2.bsky.social · 03/12/2025Ooh yes - thanks for the prompt to go and have a look. Here it is, just now, from a different part of Tower Hamlets. 010
Jonathan Morgan @jonathanmorgan2.bsky.social · 10/09/2025We've been back home for just a couple of hours now, and already I'm missing the sunset gelatos at Nico… 020
Jonathan Morgan @jonathanmorgan2.bsky.social · 31/08/2025If you’re still here on the 6th, can I recommend an excellent concert?! (That I happen to be playing in…) 100
Jonathan Morgan @jonathanmorgan2.bsky.social · 30/08/2025Plenty of @pgjonesvenice.bsky.social holiday reading here in our Venice Airbnb - though I've already read these ones… So instead, I've got @davidhewson.com's first Arnold Clover on my kindle -and am about to head over to Danilo with an empty water bottle to stock up for the weekend. 240
Jonathan Morgan @jonathanmorgan2.bsky.social · 28/08/2025#TheNegroniDiaries: celebrating our arrival in Italy (Cernobbio, Como) with the first Negroni of the trip. No fancy herbs here, unlike some of @pgjonesvenice.bsky.social's recent ones… 240
Jonathan Morgan @jonathanmorgan2.bsky.social · 25/08/2025If anyone is in Venice on Sept 6th: I'm one of a group of visiting (mostly) English singers and instrumentalists for this concert. Composers include G Gabrieli, Croce, Viadana, and Schütz (who studied in Venice with Gabrieli). 010
Jonathan Morgan @jonathanmorgan2.bsky.social · 08/08/2025Following a theme started by @pgjonesvenice.bsky.social, here’s the London edition of The Negroni Diaries: the late Russell Norman’s Brutto in Farringdon. An absolute steal @ £5 🥳 240
Jonathan Morgan @jonathanmorgan2.bsky.social · 08/08/2025Super: going on my list for our week there (arriving 29th, probably after you've gone). When we stayed in Santa M, in a rainy 2018, the eating places around there weren’t as interesting. View from our window (yours, too?!) 100
Jonathan Morgan @jonathanmorgan2.bsky.social · 30/07/2025To all professionals (and retirees) in the film, television, theatre, entertainment, and arts world, join the challenge to post a photo of yourself in your job. Just a picture, no description. The goal is to flood social media with our profession. Copy the text and post a pic on YOUR page. 031
Jonathan Morgan @jonathanmorgan2.bsky.social · 14/05/2025The introduction to this lovely review hints at what makes Café Oto a special place. I'm excited to be playing my first gig there on Sat 24th, with Balinese Gamelan LilaCita 130
Jonathan Morgan @jonathanmorgan2.bsky.social · 29/04/2025I did the same thing; enjoyed some of the tweets 021
Jonathan Morgan @jonathanmorgan2.bsky.social · 07/03/2025Slightly guilty admission: for the G minor, I'd rather be listening to this… 200
Jonathan Morgan @jonathanmorgan2.bsky.social · 25/01/2025You can now get both novellas bound together: this was a Christmas present from our son. Haven’t had a chance to read it yet… 130
Jonathan Morgan @jonathanmorgan2.bsky.social · 18/12/2024This moment for the 4 Wagner tubas is absolutely heart-melting 110
Jonathan Morgan @jonathanmorgan2.bsky.social · 12/12/2024Very envious of all that Austrian sunshine & snow. Don’t expect anything like it when you get home… 100
Jonathan Morgan @jonathanmorgan2.bsky.social · 26/11/2024Minkowski for me: period instruments, but quite large-scale. 010
Jonathan Morgan @jonathanmorgan2.bsky.social · 25/11/2024Heading out to a gamelan rehearsal: exciting times on the Elizabeth Line… 020
Jonathan Morgan @jonathanmorgan2.bsky.social · 25/11/2024This was my listening yesterday evening. Streaming via Presto Classical, so no CDs to show. 000
Jonathan Morgan @jonathanmorgan2.bsky.social · 22/11/2024Skeets is the app I use: the interface is reminiscent of the old Twitter iPad one, and (v useful) it has a bookmarks feature. Here's a screenshot I posted a couple of weeks ago when also recommending the app. 100
Jonathan Morgan @jonathanmorgan2.bsky.social · 21/11/2024A combination of Post You from another era and #ThrowbackThursday: early 1980s, rehearsing for a concert in Orleans Ho, Twickenham. Alan Davis & me, recorders, Philippa Morgan cello, Robin Jeffrey theorbo 160
Jonathan Morgan @jonathanmorgan2.bsky.social · 16/11/2024Coincidentally, I was reading a review by @jonathandnunn.bsky.social this morning, which waxed lyrical about the dish, as cooked by Hugh Corcoran at Yellow Bittern 000
Jonathan Morgan @jonathanmorgan2.bsky.social · 08/11/2024I'm using the Skeets app on iPad: familiar interface from the old iPad Twitter app, and the ability to bookmark posts. Here’s a screenshot from earlier today (this is the third time I've recommended Skeets today!) 100
Jonathan Morgan @jonathanmorgan2.bsky.social · 08/11/2024I'm using the Skeets app on my iPad: the interface is very similar to the old Twitter iPad view, and bookmarks are enabled. Here's a screenshot from an earlier thread today. 110
Jonathan Morgan @jonathanmorgan2.bsky.social · 07/11/2024Skeets gives you an interface very similar to the iPad one for x/Twitter, and includes bookmarks. 110
Jonathan Morgan @jonathanmorgan2.bsky.social · 12/10/2024Meanwhile, I'm seeing this rather promising lineup in the Wigmore tonight. 110
Jonathan Morgan @jonathanmorgan2.bsky.social · 01/09/2024The Regata Storica here today - which, thanks to my old friend Robin Rigby (we first met at the Early Music Centre in the 1970s), I was able to see from the water, in a Sandolo from his Venetian rowing club 😎 130
Jonathan Morgan @jonathanmorgan2.bsky.social · 28/08/2024For those in #Venice at the end of the first week of September, here's a concert I'm playing in, in Palladio's lovely Redentore Church. A group of visiting (mostly) English singers & instrumentalists, directed by Philip Thorby. 230
Jonathan Morgan @jonathanmorgan2.bsky.social · 18/11/2023We did this, for 5 nights in December 2019: our first visit there, and we loved it. Some super winter sunshine, and spectacular sunsets looking over towards the ocean. 010
Jonathan Morgan @jonathanmorgan2.bsky.social · 07/11/2023A ringside seat for Philippa and me: the final one in Will Vann’s series at the King’s Rd Pizza Express. James Gilchrist sings Dichterliebe, and an intriguing mix of Gloucestershire composers in the first half. 010
