Not all classical music concerts are staid and stuffy. Ours, in rural Somerset featuring world-class musicians, are always packed and buzz with atmosphere!

A) This a properly brilliant piece of investigative journalism by BBC & @hopenothate. Huge kudos to all involved.
B) The Kremlin operative who BBC names as directing arson attacks against Keir Starmer was taught his tradecraft by…drumroll…Sergei Nalobin !!! Pictured here with Boris Johnson. Also: the star of our podcast series, Sergei & the Westminster Spy Ring! Wtaf

NEW: Why did Nigel Farage throw the 2019 ‘Brexit’ election for Boris Johnson? What does it have to do with Harborne’s £5m gift? And why is it tearing apart Britain’s far-right parties?

Sometimes, a performance just stays with you for hours afterwards. @igorpianist at @wigmore_hall this lunchtime was exactly that. If you didn’t hear it live on @BBCRadio3 with @PetrocTrelawny, do head to @BBCSounds. You won’t be disappointed.

Let's enjoy the extraordinary artistic performance "Hands off!" (1976), a testament to Victor Borge's innate talent for transforming academic music into subtle laughter, in collaboration with the outstanding opera singer Marilyn Mulvey.

Morning. It’s a bit parky again but we’ll be getting super cool with the Playlist this morning @BBCRadio3 that launches with music by the great Miles Davis on the day he would have turned 100. It doesn’t have to be jazz but maybe it should swing! Join me for the fun at 9.30.

a hot day but lovely and cool at Wigmore where the Modigliani and Leonkoro Quartets play Mendelssohn’s Octet, Turina and Schulhoff to start the hall’s 125th birthday celebration. Live at Radio 3 at 1pm.

This isn't just a story about Farage and his sudden interest in the deregulation of crypto currency.
But starts with Boris Johnson..
Perhaps Ben Habib was right all along?

It’s a glorious summer’s day in London town and across much of the UK. If you want a classical music sound track for your morning, join me for Essential Classics @BBCRadio3, not least to help build a playlist for a Bank Holiday. I’m back on air from 9.30.

At their New Year's Concert in 2009, the @Vienna_Phil invited @DBarenboim to conduct the festivities — leading the orchestra in a delightful performance of Haydn's Symphony No. 45, known as the "Farewell" Symphony for the surprising twist seen here… bit.ly/3WJRhFq

Fantastic to see this @nerve_news investigation trending.
The crypto millions fuelling Britain’s far-right turn (the exact same playbook as Trump) requires much, much more scrutiny.

NEW: The Crypto Connection. @thenerve_news brings you…Part 1 of The Harbourne Receipts.

I'm worried that Trump will launch a war on Cuba, to distract attention from his war on Iran, which distracted attention from his war on Venezuela, which distracted attention from the Epstein files
