The atmosphere was electric last night at @hindsgavl_festival. Several musicians had already played earlier in the week, and you could feel the deep friendships and musical trust on stage. @carolinwidmannviolin, @danushawaskiewicz, Christian Poltera, and @deniskozhukhin performed Schubert’s Adagio e Rondo Concertante, Lekeu’s unfinished piano quartet, and Schumann’s radiant Piano Quartet in E-flat major. A truly special evening.

Yes, vulnerability matters. But when feelings become marketing—emotional honesty weaponised for politics or PR—I recoil. Reeves and Starmer’s recent displays show how fine the line is between human and strategic. I want my leaders to feel—but not perform feelings. #Vulnerability #Politics #AuthenticityFatigue https://on.ft.com/44iQqzG (07/06/2025 15:29:57)
Last night’s @hindsgavl_festival concert with soprano @christianekarg Karg and pianist Wolfram Rieger —joined by flautist @jeschekjill and cellist Christian Poltéra—was a tour de force of 20th-century art songs. The closing work, Montsalvatge’s Cinco Canciones negras, was tough, sharp and potentially controversial. Stunning. (07/06/2025 14:57:44)
At @claykeramikmuseumdanmark I saw @benteskjoettgaard exhibition—an imaginative and tactile cosmos of glaze and form. Her sculptural cumulus clouds struck a particular chord, reminding me of @nannadeboisbuhl book Cloud Behaviour, which I read last year. Strange how clouds can feel so weighty. (07/06/2025 14:56:14)
Visited @claykeramikmuseumdanmark in Middelfart to see A Walk with a Dinosaur by @michaelgeertsen —a fascinating journey through ceramic imagination and art history. I was especially intrigued by the pieces inspired by the Russian avant-garde. As a great admirer of Kazimir Malevich, it was a joy to spot echoes of Suprematism in unexpected forms.

At @hindsgavl_festival , violinist @___johan, cellist @andreasbrantelid_official , and pianist Christian Ihle Hadland performed piano trios by Erich Korngold and Maurice Ravel. Ravel’s Piano Trio in A minor was a highlight—especially the first and third movements, which unfolded with extraordinary beauty, quiet intensity, and lyrical depth. A rare moment of stillness in sound. (07/05/2025 15:05:08)
Between concerts at @hindsgavl_festival, I went for a quick 10K run — from Funen to Jutland and back across the old Little Belt Bridge. A beautiful route with history, sea breeze, and just enough elevation to make the music afterwards feel even more rewarding. (07/05/2025 12:00:00)
Two unforgettable French-themed concerts at @hindsgavl_festival: First, the @breeze_windquintet quintet with @paloma.kouider.pianist performed Roussel, Debussy, Farrenc, Connesson & Poulenc. The next morning, Kouider returned with Annelien van Wauwe for Pierné, Widor, Saint-Saëns & Poulenc. A celebration of 100 years of French flair for winds and piano. (07/05/2025 09:44:27)
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.

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)
