Timely newsletter, I was reading only this morning about the new opera at the Met, ‘El Último sueño’ and really want to see it! I’m on a train rn with no headphones so look forward to listening to these 5 picks when I’m alone :)
This is a great list! I love Mahler 5 (the opening trumpet! the sweep of the second movement!) and I'm excited to hear Nelsons' interpretation. I heard him conduct Prokofiev 5 at the Proms a few years ago and it was incredible. I will definitely check out the French Orchestral Favorites too - one of my comfort listens is Wilson conducting Korngold's score for The Adventures of Robin Hood.
Nelsons is truly one of the greats! I don’t know Korngold’s Robin Hood, will have to check it out. Definitely a Korngold fan myself. Thanks for the suggestion :)
Love this round up.

Let’s go watch it in the cinema. Opera and popcorn together at last!

The movie is so much fun! Very old-fashioned swashbuckler.
Just looked it up. Movie night sorted! Ha
