Sad day for musical mystics - d otd: Scriabin (1915) - crazed obsessive genius. Messiaen (1992) - life-affirming, devout nature-lover. And for cellists: Rostropovich (2007) - charismatic phenomenon, who doubled our repertoire. Lynn Harrell (2020) -warm-hearted, loveable bear!
The great philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein b otd 1889: "Uttering a word is like striking a note on the keyboard of the imagination." "Nothing is so difficult as not deceiving oneself." And another, underrated philosopher b otd 1990 - @gmisserlis : "Please stop embarrassing me".
Ella Fitzgerald b otd 1917! On music/singing: "Music is the universal language ... it brings people closer together." "The only thing better than singing is more singing." "Everybody wants to know about my style, and how it came about. It's no big secret. It's the way I feel."
One of my favourite authors, Anthony Trollope, b otd 1815. I love the fact that his characters are so real, so recognisable - one could meet them, unchanged, today. “What on earth could be more luxurious than a sofa, a book, and a cup of coffee?...Was ever anything so civil?”
Happy Birthday Barbra Streisand! "Doubt can motivate you, so don't be afraid of it. Confidence and doubt are at two ends of the scale, and you need both. They balance each other out." "I love things that are indescribable, like the taste of an avocado or the smell of a gardenia."
Sergei Prokofiev b otd 1891! Enigmatic man, endlessly fascinating composer - music of such invention. “My chief virtue (or if you like, defect) has been a tireless lifelong search for an original, individual musical idiom. I detest imitation, I detest hackneyed devices.”
A day for beloved musicians! Kathleen Ferrier (b otd 1912): "She had the charm of a child and the dignity of a lady...a country lass and also a priestess." (Bruno Walter) Yehudi Menuhin (1916): "I think the extraordinary thing is that he was a normal genius." (Bruno Monsaingeon)
Charlotte Bronte b otd 1816! I am no bird; no net ensnares me; I am a free human being with an independent will. Prejudices are most difficult to eradicate from the heart whose soil has never been loosened or fertilized by education; they grow there, firm as weeds among stones.
Much-missed Victoria Wood d otd 2016: The trouble with retirement is that you never get a day off. I'm not too good with advice. Could I interest you in a sarcastic comment? AND: Music is an element that should be part and parcel of every child's life via the education system.
We're sad to be leaving Mexico after only two/three days here - during which we've met some of the warmest-hearted people we've ever met and (perhaps not unrelated?) eaten some of the spiciest food we've ever tasted! Thanks to everyone who made our short stay so special.
Happy birthday to Murray Perahia! Wise advice: "You have to understand where the music comes from. You have to understand the counterpoint, the harmony, the things the composer studied." "Keep your love of music alive because the love is the fuel that drives everything forward."
Wisdom/inspiration from Albert Einstein (d otd 1955): “I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.” “I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious.”
Two years now since beloved Radu Lupu left us. I think of him every day - he remains a musical hero, a paragon of sincerity, profundity and warmth. As a person too - although melancholy at times, he loved to be with his friends, to laugh, and to help others: a truly kind man.
Day of laughter! Three comic geniuses b otd: Charlie Chaplin (1889): "A day without laughter is a day wasted." Spike Milligan (1918): "After five days in hospital, I took a turn for the nurse." (Ahem.) Peter Ustinov (1921): "Laughter... the most civilised music in the world."
Neville Marriner b otd 1924 - I wish he'd made 100! But what a way to go: in his sleep, the night before a rehearsal. He was the best company; so funny! A typical remark: "The awful thing about a conductor becoming geriatric is that you seem to become more desirable, not less."
Thoughts from George Frideric Handel (d otd 1759) - On studying music: "Learn all there is to learn, and then choose your own path." On audiences: "I should be sorry if I only entertained them. I wish to make them better." On composing Messiah: "I thought I saw the face of God".
And Samuel Beckett b otd 1906! "We are all born mad. Some remain so." "Personally I have no bone to pick with graveyards." "To find a form that accommodates the mess, that is the task of the artist now." "There's man all over for you, blaming on his boots the fault of his feet."
Thomas Jefferson, b otd 1743: "In matters of style, swim with the current; in matters of principle, stand like a rock." "Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason, than that of blind-folded fear."
Wisdom from F D Roosevelt (d otd 1945): “Remember that all of us - you and I especially - are descended from immigrants.” “The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little.”
Confucius, thought to have d otd 479! “The man who moves a mountain begins by carrying away small stones.”" “He who knows all the answers has not been asked all the questions.” “Study the past if you would define the future.” "Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it.”

@StevenIsserlis Oh,it’s so sad, but how much better our lives became because of their existence
@StevenIsserlis Since we remember Messiaen, let's also remember Yvonne Loriod. theguardian.com/music/2010/may…
@StevenIsserlis @gmisserlis Happy Birthday @gmisserlis oh wise one!
@StevenIsserlis @gmisserlis Happy birthday, @gmisserlis. *He* means well, y'know😂
@FriseSally @StevenIsserlis @deborah_feder @WQXR I have to do this way too often! Block, report, etc. Ugh. Usually, these are bots. Not even human. Things will be more interesting now that Google is getting rid of 3rd party "cookies." I think this is mostly "lip service," but one can dream! 😘
@StevenIsserlis @gmisserlis ‘Wittgenstein’s Poker’ is well worth reading, if you don’t know it already. What a remarkable generation of artists and intellectuals that was.
@StevenIsserlis Trollope is my absolutey favourite author. I've read almost all his novels. The characters are so real. He is so witty. Dr Wortle's school is a great story. It's worth seeking out the more obscure novels. I love the leisurely pace of them. The longer the better for me.
@StevenIsserlis @WQXR @FriseSally @bekibrindle No problem!!💜 The good thing is that anyone with half a brain will know it's not you!! Have a good day!! Yours truly, Debstar, President of the Steven Isserlis "Super Fan" Club!! 😂💜🎻xoxo
Impressive of the BBC to get Yo-Yo Ma playing the piano at the Proms.
“The only thing better than singing is more singing!” Love this quote and use it often. 🎶
Ella Fitzgerald b otd 1917! On music/singing: "Music is the universal language ... it brings people closer together." "The only thing better than singing is more singing." "Everybody wants to know about my style, and how it came about. It's no big secret. It's the way I feel."
@StevenIsserlis Some great singers in jazz but Ella was, and remains, peerless, imho. The tone, the power and the perfect understanding of her material. If I'm greedy, her work with Oscar Peterson sets a standard for the rest of us to aim at, and then flail about until the truth alights.
@StevenIsserlis The silky soft tones of this great lady are as good as they can get. Such a sense of rhythm and fun. A veritable goddess of music
@StevenIsserlis She’s right through and through
@StevenIsserlis Have to say it again - did she ever sing a note out of tune ? She was stunning
@StevenIsserlis …and “The Way We Live Now” is incredibly up-to-date!
@StevenIsserlis At college, my professor recommended reading Trollope to relieve exam stress. He was so right and have loved them ever since.
@StevenIsserlis I am currently into 18 th century novels. And Anthony Trollope sounds like an interesting author. The Way We Live Now is 832 pages. Impressive. The choice is whether to read it (during work lunchtime) or listen to an audiotape.
