I'll think of something later: Palermo ancora
http://davidnice.blogspot.com/2015/07/palermo-ancora.html
I'll think of something later. An impressionistic outlet for some of those thoughts, musical and otherwise, I don't have a chance to air in the media. Saturday, 25 July 2015. We took a beloved route, with crucial variations, on the first morning, walking along Via Butera from our apartment in the palazzo at No. 28. A different one this time, looking out on the street -. And ice cream comes in massive dollops ('pistacchio' in front of 'bacio' on the left). I waxed lyrical about the flora here back in 2013.

I'll think of something later. An impressionistic outlet for some of those thoughts, musical and otherwise, I don't have a chance to air in the media. Sunday, 29 March 2015. It was good enough for me that I'd read and admired Arendt's study. Of Adolf Eichmann's 1963 show trial in Jerusalem, and that the film featured two actresses I love to the point of idolisation, Barbara Sukowa (consummate for Fassbinder in Berlin Alexanderplatz. Is now joint first). And The Lives of Others. Another film - even more r...

I'll think of something later. An impressionistic outlet for some of those thoughts, musical and otherwise, I don't have a chance to air in the media. Thursday, 28 May 2015. Many years after Alison Steadman's Bev first tottered around serving up 1970s party snacks and asking a male guest flirtatiously 'Do you like Demis [Roussos]? Rosie had heard of a production in which the cast drank in 'real time' so they really were pissed as the show wore on, and she'd seen it onstage elsewhere. Though maybe you hav...

I'll think of something later. An impressionistic outlet for some of those thoughts, musical and otherwise, I don't have a chance to air in the media. Saturday, 28 February 2015. And a film about life two decades or so after the end of World War Two, Ida. By that superb filmmaker Paweł Pawlikowski who had already given us two very different and equally fine British movies, Last Resort. And My Summer of Love. Remind us that the past lives on in the next generation too. Has a gut-wrenching twist about two-...

I'll think of something later: Just a girl

I'll think of something later. An impressionistic outlet for some of those thoughts, musical and otherwise, I don't have a chance to air in the media. Wednesday, 22 July 2015. Having seen the Dingle doc, and witnessed what has to be the true and deeply curious, questing individual in fascinating interview with Philip King, founder of Dingle's Other Voices. Festival, I wasn't sure I wanted to see the new documentary Amy. It was bound to emphasise the tragedy of Winehouse's life at the expense of what rema...

I'll think of something later: Ingrid as Fury

I'll think of something later. An impressionistic outlet for some of those thoughts, musical and otherwise, I don't have a chance to air in the media. Friday, 7 August 2015. Intelligence about an extraordinarily underrated film starring one great Swedish lady came to me from another, Sophie Sarin. The film in question is The Visit. Released in 1964 and directed by Bernhard Wicki. A continental friend was very surprised I didn't know the original play on which it's based, Der Besuch der Alten Dame. On his...

I'll think of something later. An impressionistic outlet for some of those thoughts, musical and otherwise, I don't have a chance to air in the media. Saturday, 25 October 2014. Masters’ farewells: Strauss and Parry. It soon became clear: Parry’s six Songs of Farewell. I knew the Epiphoni Consort would be first-rate, and the choir's interpretation of Strauss’s Deutsche Motette. The toughest work on the programme, was infinitely finer than the BBC Singers’ Proms performance. No wobbles, richer body of sou...

War, peace and love. This last post of the year looks forward to 10 hours of War and Peace. Starting with Aida Garifullina's Natasha and Andrei Bondarenko's Andrei falling in love at the ball ,. By Natasha Razina and Valentin Baranovsky. Opera top 11 here. Then the fall. Graham was right: in a contemporary setting, it's all...
