i will of course see the movie at the first opportunity but i'm legitimately worried about what they'll do; callas had a unique and instantly recognizable voice and all of us, her fans, are complete psychopaths content with nothing short of absolute perfection

are you serious? the Goldberg Variations are riveting. from the first notes to the (repeated) final notes ranging from thrilling to heartrending w/ such virtuoso playing the spectator feels like an elephant watching in wonder as a hawk soars high above seemingly without effort.

For @laphamsquart I wrote about the great David Jones. A painter and poet of unrivaled brilliance and originality, he remains bafflingly obscure, esp here in the US. This is my very modest contribution to the interpretation of his work.
