For example, here's a playlist of 12 different recordings of Britten's violin concerto. @bandcamp.com has 1 recording. It would be great to find one place I could support all the different classical artists I listen to open.spotify.com/playlist/43R...
Britten — Violin Concerto, Op. 15

Great news, I'm looking foward to hearing this.

When will it be?

Just stumbled on this post via @rhiannonbookgeek.bsky.social and I love all the ideas. I do some of them already (read a chapter aloud) and others sound such fun. I'll be trying 'candlelight' and 're-read a chapter' first.

These are brilliant!

I was at Saffron Hall yesterday, it was amazing indeed

'Found it in Spufford's Unapologetic, in the section where he argues that "guilt is often an instrument of self-​discovery"

I suspect we disagree ideologically, and I am helicoptering in, but I just cannot see how this is read as 'hateful'. I found the tweet difficult to parse, but it does not seem at all hateful. How strange.

Love the video Ollie, your excitement at spotting Paul made me smile, he's in my Local Meeting.

Darn autocorrect: "eminently" should be "imminently"!

I'm currently clerk of the Quaker Nontheist Friends Network, and I haven't yet finished the book (I have the paper copy arriving at my local village bookshop eminently and I'm just starting Part 2 on audio), but it is already proving so relevant for me. Thank you @lamornaash.bsky.social 4/4

I can't remember if I stumbled upon the book through @elizabetholdfield.bsky.social's #TheSacred, the @seenunseenmag.bsky.social newsletter, or from Justin Brierley, but it resonates so much with Elizabeth's recent call to 'choose to listen, and step outside our algorithmic echo chambers' 3/4

I'm 60 this year, so I am not the target audience, but the nuance, subtlety, honesty, and beauty of the book really helps me answer the dilemmas I am facing in my views of faith right now. 2/4

Thanks @timquaker.bsky.social, that's interesting and good advice. I'll pick up Matthew (I've relied on 22:21 so many times at work!) Strange synchronicity, but I just finished James after hearing how much Francis Collins relies on the passages in James about wisdom. Thanks again t'other Tim
