Revelling in Ravel

April 9th, 2020

There have been lots of wonderful examples during lockdown of the musicians from bands and orchestras recording individual parts at home which are then edited together into a combined performance. John linked to this rather pleasing Ode to Joy, for example.

But my favourite so far is from a few days ago: the NY Philharmonic’s version of Ravel’s Boléro. Play it on the biggest screen and best speakers you can manage!

Enjoy!

Closer to home, the opening and closing songs from St Andrew the Great in Cambridge on Easter morning were rather good: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Xb0GYGlJt4 (0:15:00 and 1:01:15 if you are prepared to miss the rest of the service).

To create not a block, but an inline code span, use backticks: 

Here is some inline `code`.
