:Not being recipient of any Valentines, I reserve the right to be miserable.

I'd blame the rubbish postal system, Anna.

[salymap]

The Smiths. Not being recipient of any Valentines, I reserve the right to be miserable. Oh well, You Haven't Just Earned it Yet Baby.
edit: I love Jonny Marr's sparkling guitar and Morrissy really lifts me up.

No Valentines this year either Anna, you are not alone. My choice Stormy Weather

[Bryn]

Making the most of my 48 hour pass at the Berliner Phil's Digital Concert Hall, now listening to Berio's Sequenza X. Lots more listening to do there before my time runs out. Fortunately things are currently running more smoothly than they did for the Rattle Bruckner 9 (in the 2010 revision of the Samale et al completion) this afternoon. I did eventually get to hear it all.

Liszt, B minor sonata played by Clifford Curzon (Decca studio recording).

James Dillon, Philomela (Aeon).

Earlier on R3: Mozart Rondo Alla Turca from Sonata K331 played by Murray Perahia. Brings back happy memories of Richard Burnett playing it [with prepared piano], at his wonderful Finchcocks keyboard instruments museum in Kent.
