#LetsDoIt25 11/50 1914 Europe's Society Orchestra - Castle House Rag I honestly tried to find something else for this year to avoid doubling up, but James Reese Europe still is the only game in town in 1914, this time with a song for his colleagues The Castles. youtu.be/yIB60x-5jEk

#FavouriteDiscs At least three versions of the Barber Violin Concerto will possibly make it onto this series eventually, but my personal favourite is the Shaham with Previn. They soar together in the big moments, but when intimacy is required, their sensitivity is breathtaking.
