What does Clara Schumann, Liszt, and Chopin sound like on a @bluthner.piano from 1859? The answer: like hearing the music through the composers’ own ears. @pashchenkeyboard let the works come alive on this historical instrument—reminding us how fun and revealing it is to play music on the very kind of piano it was originally written for. @hindsgavl_festival

- An evening of musical miniature dramas at @hindsgavl_festival: @arcangelomusic led by @jonny_arcangelo , brought baroque brilliance to life with duets by Händel. @sorayamafi and @iiestyndavies captured every emotion—from heavenly peace to jealous fury. Highlights included “Streams of pleasure” and the breathtaking “Io t’abbraccio.” (07/07/2025 22:59:48)
- 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. (07/06/2025 22:18:21)
- 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

- 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)
