This post inspired me to book tickets to see the Berlin Philharmonic play at the Edinburgh Festival next year.

Kirill Petrenko will conduct Beethoven and Scriabin on the last night of the festival.

And, for a change, we'll be there.

My first shortlist for #5DebutAlbums7074

Yes, I know Clube da Esquina will be ineligible but I picked it out for a listen this week anyway.

I guess there's a ton of jazz fusion, maybe some ECM debuts, some more Krautrock/Kosmische, and some other interesting things to discover!
