RIP Diane Keaton. A fine comedienne (most notably in her films with Woody Allen), but also good in drama (as we know from The Godfather). But she also directed well – the documentary Heaven should not be forgotten.

Terrific opening night for 2025-26 season @wigmore-hall.org.uk, with magnificent Matthias Goerne accompanied by David Fray in Schubert's extraordinary Schwanengesang; the pianist then provided a riveting account of the composer's final piano sonata. Sheer magic.

Tired of media nonsense about classical music being to 'chill out' to? Tonight's gig by @QuatuorDanel – Shostakovich & his underrated Polish friend Weinberg – anything but. Diverse deep passions; not about tuning out. Check out a superb concert @wigmore_hall or YouTube

2 very enjoyable concerts @wigmore-hall.org.uk today. Viktoria Mullova & Alasdair Beatson in Beethoven & Schubert (dependably superb), then 21-year-old Korean superstar Yunchan Lim indramatic (Romantic?) account of Goldberg Variations. Not sure I (or he) wanted an encore but many in the audience did

Have any of this lot recanted and issued a full-throated apology yet?

What better antidote to these troubled times could one hope for than Steven Osborne performing late Schubert, JS Bach, James Macmillan and a small gem by Judith Weir this lunchtime @wigmore-hall.org.uk? (The mesmerisingly superb results can be heard on Radio 3/BBC Sounds.)

I enjoyed the new opera Festen so much that I wrote a few words about it. #Festen #opera geoffandrew.com/2025/02/12/f...

I enjoyed Mark-Anthony Turnage's new opera Festen at its first night @royaloperahouse.bsky.social yesterday that I wrote a few words about it. #Festen #opera geoffandrew.com/2025/02/12/f...

No way would I miss Mark-Anthony Turnage's opera Festen at Royal Opera House, given amazing cast (Clayton, Finley, Degout, Romaniw), conductor Ed Gardner, & that it's from Vinterberg's impressive film. Glad I got tickets for 1st night; it's terrific. I was not alone in thinking so. Maybe more soon…

Finally got to see the great Martha Argerich perform live, this evening @wigmore-hall.org.uk, partly solo (glorious Bach!), partly with Yossif Ivanov & Mischa Maisky in trios by Haydn & Felix Mendelssohn. Words feel a little insufficient…
