Facts just twist the truth around.
Facts are living, turned inside-out.

Tim the Enchanter famously misidentifies The Rabbit as a ‘rodent’.

Some Arte Nova cut-outs came in at the shop, so I fetched in Andrei Nikolsky’s recording of Rakhmaninov:

c# minor Prelude, Opus 3 № 2
Preludes, Opus 23
Sonata № 2 in b minor, Opus 36
Variations on a Theme by Corelli, Opus 42

First listen to this recording:

Sibelius
Symphony № 4 in A Minor, Opus 63
Helsinki Philharmonic
Berglund

The second movement (Allegro molto vivace) has more a graceful lilt than I am used to. Very nice character. There was sort of a “startled oboe” tone at one point near the end of the final movement (he recovered for subsequent phrases). The performance on the whole has such character and is of such fine quality, that I readily forgive these momentary lapses of reed-dom.
