Good to know this box is coming later on in November! It’s really the only corner of his discography left to cover. Some of the Concertgebouw recordings in here are exceptional, including the Sleeping Beauty and Nutcracker. Can’t wait.

An archival document from Hertford College, believed to date from the early 20th century, listing items undergraduates were advised to bring when beginning their first term. The list includes two pairs of sheets and pillowcases, three tablecloths, toilet covers, six bedroom towels, six glass cloths, four dusters, and sufficient plates and crockery for luncheon and afternoon tea.

Before people learned music with 'do re mi', the sequence once began with 'ut' as the lowest note. The absolute lowest note recognised in medieval music was 'Γ ut', with the Greek letter gamma, and 'Γ ut' came to refer to the full range of possible notes. This is behind the phrase 'run the gamut'.
