This morning at @hindsgavl_festival @kristofferhyldig performed Olivier Messiaen’s Vingt Regards sur l’Enfant-Jésus — a 2½ hour uninterrupted solo piano masterpiece. This deeply Catholic work, rich in mystical symbolism and sonic ecstasy, momentarily transported even a devout cultural Protestant into the heart of religious awe. A truly overwhelming experience.07/04/2025 12:15:13nbSee More (10 posts)

Yesterday’s late-night concert at @hindsgavl_festival was a revelation. @deniskozhukhin all-Liszt solo program culminated in an absolutely overwhelming performance of the B minor Sonata — a journey of drama, depth, and spiritual intensity. Rarely has the piano sounded so infinite. (07/04/2025 06:59:18)

An inspiring afternoon at @hindsgavl_festival Festival! We began with Mozart’s Horn Quintet in E♭ Major, K.407, featuring Sibylle Mahni (horn) with Antje Weithaas (violin), Sào Soulez Larivière & Nicholas Swensen (violas), and Andreas Brantelid (cello). Then Felix Mendelssohn’s youthful masterpiece, his String Octet in E♭ Major, Op. 20 (composed at just 16), soared under Weithaas’s leadership: a fiery Allegro moderato, lyrical Andante, playful Scherzo, and triumphant Presto finale. Simply unforgettable! A huge congratulations to all! (07/03/2025 15:56:03)

@hindsgavl_festival Festival 2025 has begun! And what a magnificent opening. The first concert featured a stellar string quartet: @snokvit and @adamkviolin (violins), @nicholasalgot_swensen (viola), and @andreasbrantelid_official (cello). They brought Haydn’s radiant String Quartet in A major, Op. 20 No. 6 to life, and then moved us with Schubert’s dark and gripping Death and the Maiden quartet. A perfect start to this year’s musical journey. (07/02/2025 22:48:54)

Last night at @hindsgavl_festival, I had the joy of hearing @martinhelmchen perform Brahms’ monumental Piano Quintet in F minor, Op. 34—together with @antjeweithaas and @stephenwaarts (violins), @sao.lariviere_violist (viola), and @marieelisabethhecker (cello). A storm of lyricism, depth, and virtuosity. Music that lingers. (07/02/2025 22:32:01)

“No Space for Bezos!” cry the protesters—but not a word about Lady Gaga or Elton John performing at his wedding. Is it hypocrisy or just selective outrage? Jo Ellison’s piece is a reminder that when it comes to billionaire pageantry, everyone plays their part. #BezosWedding #CulturalContradictions https://www.ft.com/content/1ea7433a-f821-4a79-997c-2b1f69ffafe3 (06/30/2025 06:16:56)

Yesterday 40 years ago: The only Denmark side ever to defeat the mighty and mysterious USSR, the fans present at the Copenhagen ground that afternoon in 1985, or just anyone who watched the game live on TV. https://theblizzard.co.uk/denmark-4-ussr-2/ (06/06/2025 15:45:16)

I have always believed that openness and transparency was probably the most important way to ensure both well-functioning markets and political governance. Much of the information to enable our participation in a democracy, where we can make informed choices and where everyone, great and small alike, can be held accountable for their actions and utterances, must be dug up "from below" by citizens who are not part of the institutions that their "digging" is supposed to shed light on. That's why it's good to see that the important #opensourceintelligence initiative is getting the attention that a full page post in Financial Times Weekend bringes! (09/15/2024 13:32:19)

Fuldstændig enig i denne analyse fra @informeren@expressional.social lederskribent: “Det er utroligt, og utroligt bekymrende, at USA’s liberale elite tilsyneladende intet har lært. Otte år efter Trumps valgsejr ler de stadig ad ham, når han taler om og til Midtvestens frustrerede hvide arbejderklasse. De risikerer, at han ler sidst.” Samme forhold gør sig gældende hos den liberale elite i Norden, Tyskland, Frankrig etc. https://www.information.dk/udland/leder/2024/09/otte-aar-trumps-valgsejr-demokraterne-tilsyneladende-intet-laert?check_logged_in=1 (09/15/2024 07:57:28)
