"We have endeavoured to recreate something of the atmosphere of an early performance: 'With Gounod accompanying him at the piano, Seghers lent to it the powerful tones of his violin, while from a neighbouring room a choir of voices sustained the harmony with mysterious chords.'"

Be interested to know that now that the Core in Leeds is being demolished, have any remnants of Red Brick House been found?

Is it only me that thinks that Franck Symphony in D is so underrated? Never hear it played on the radio or see it performed in concerts. Such a shame because feel it is haunting and yet such a beautiful work🎶🎶

Yorkshire-born Joseph Priestley (1733-1804), chemist, Unitarian, liberal political theorist, died on this day in Northumberland, Pennsylvania. He had fled there after a mob burned down his Birmingham home and church over his support for the American and French revolutions.

Reading the book Beethoven written by John Suchet mentions humming and buzzing in Beethovens ears. Could he have had what we call today "tinnitus"?

Judith Harris @jud1960.bsky.social · 03/01/2026

Just reading the book "Beethoven" by John Suchet Mentions there was little evidence of meetings between Beethoven and Mozart. Could there have been clashes between the two, rivalry or simply that they didn't like each other? Therefore neither would want to talk about meeting?

Leeds "antiquarian" Ralph Thoresby, died otd in 1725. (300 years ago) Known for his diaries and "Ducatus Leodiensis. Without him, we wouldn't have the history of Leeds the way we know it!

Wonder how Kirkgate Market would look if it didn't have the fire in 1975? Would it still have had the entertainment space with the eating area?

Just reading about Queen Mary I. I'm assuming that she had a phantom pregnancy or could it have been something more sinister? Also, did Prince Philip love her or was he using her to get his hands on England?
