This is to wish all readers of
Entartete Musik a very happy Christmas and a fruitful 2014. It has been great to share a number of stories over the past year. Among your favourites were reports of
new operas at the Royal Opera House, the announcement of the
LPO's premiere of Górecki's Fourth Symphony in 2014, Tammam Azzam's sadly imaginary
Klimt in Syria, thoughts on
the German TV programme Unserer Mütter, unsere Väter (coming to the BBC this Winter), the
100th anniversary of the Skandalkonzert, sad news of
Sir Colin Davis's death, a review of
Baz Luhrmann's The Great Gatsby adaptation, my response to
Thielemann's Ring, astonishment at the
Russian cultural minister's pronouncement that Tchaikovsky was not gay and news that
Britten was to adorn the 50p piece. 2014 brings many more exciting projects, not least the 150th anniversary of Richard Strauss's birth, which you can follow on
this new Twitter feed. Anyway, there'll be enough of that when the calendar changes in a week's time.
Entartete Musik will be back up and running on 6 January 2014. Meantime, enough some peace, quiet and a few glasses of Grüner Veltliner... I know I will.
