From vacation, so missed some interesting stories, such asabout Jubilant Sykes. Today aboutRichie Beirach, jazz pianist. Which of his music samples would you have chosen? - As for POTD, when it comes to images regarding opera and classical music, feel free to ping me. I may have time or not. --Gerda Arendt (talk)12:33, 5 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Tamás Vásáry today, who began his career with a Mozart concerto at age 8. --Gerda Arendt (talk)23:06, 12 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@Gerda Arendt: thanks for the note, and I hope you enjoyed your vacation to La Palma. The pics look absoutely amazing as ever, I very nearly booked a trip to that part of the world myself for this Feb, but it proved to be impractical so just stuck at home instead! I see today's story isJesus nahm zu sich die Zwölfe, BWV 22, a very interesting piece as we prepare for the upcoming Lenten season, I'll have a listen later. And a very great-looking featured article on the subject by you, congratulations. All the best  — Amakuru (talk)17:05, 15 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
