Whatever cocktail of angst, melancholy and adrenaline that guy was drinking back in 1901 when he finished writing the second movement of Cello Sonata in G minor, Op. 19, I feel it.
This rendition by Sheku Kanneh-Mason & Isata Kanneh-Mason is my absolute favouriteā the emotion they're both putting into playing the piece is palpable and absolutely phenomenal.
BONUS REC: If you like working to classical music, I recommend to give the full sonata a listen (itās like ~30 mins of complete intensity & beauty)

š»I got Apple Music classical recently. absolutely love it. If youāre reading this and havenāt taken the classical-pill yet, you have to give it a try. It has all the calming space out lock in effects of ambient musicā but if you care to really tune into the music itself itās astonishing how beautiful it can be. Growing up, I thought it was music for the diaperprolesā babies & senior citizens. I was so wrong. Such grace, such clarity, such overwhelming force, such tenderness, such vehement, electrifying ENERGY all expressed completely wordlessly. By a means that surpasses words. Wordcelsisters, we never stood a chanceā¦
Iāve been on a huge Russians kick currently. Prokofiev, Rachmoninov, Stravinsky, Scriabin, Tvhaikovsky. Some pieces that Iāve really been enjoying recently, in no particular order:
Schumannās piano concerto in A minor performed by Marta Argerich.
Rossiniās overture from la gazza ladra
Prokofievās dance of the knights from Romeo & Juliet
Stravinskyās rite of spring
Vladikir Ashkenazyās rendition of Chopinās 15th nocturne
Iām also convinced that āSmile Sessionsā is the best pop album ever made. If anyone can provide any evidence to the contrary Iād be delighted. But in the meantime, Iāll continue listening to āThe Teenage Symphony to Godā front to back ad infinitum

Having physical things is just nice. Going analog with articles has a much more personal feel and thereās nothing like having a goated coffee table collection.

I genuinely believe Crack is the only music magazine on plant earth that has their finger on the pulse of whatās actually popping. Every cover interview is fantastic and relevant + Iām always put on to new artists that end up having an incredible year after being featured. The gig guide is 10/10 if you live in London and itās also FREE every month.
