A Scythian exhibition in Berlin.
Today’s summary of the feuilletons suggests why I recommend signandsight.com: the Scythians, Hindu bigotry, Imre Kertesz on Europe, the Pope’s call for the reintroduction of the Latin mass.

Are you a fan of Prokoviev’s Scythian Suite?

It sticks in my mind because the Alla and Lolly section has one of the hardest trumpet parts in the repertoire. Really fiendish.

My recollection – it’s noisy. But so were Scythians, I suppose. I have Abbado’s recording. It’s always on my list to hear again, and now moves up a notch or two.

There are 12 matches on iTunes. Abbado isn’t there, though.
