Anyone in the musical theatre bootleg world know if any recordings of "Crazy For You" (London, 2023, preferably with Charlie Stemp and Carly Anderson) exist and how I may acquire one??

I saw it six times at the Gillian Lynne and I'm just not ready to accept that it is closed. 😂😭

Classical music for people with short attention spans

Nothing but bangers here. Thought I'd make a list of my favorite classical pieces on the off chance that anyone will see this and actually want to listen to these-

Rhapsody in Blue by George Gershwin – first piece on my "classical bangers" playlist. As a clarinetist myself, the opening clarinet gliss makes me so happy and the piece just keeps going from there. Every single section is amazing and it doesn't feel "stuffy" at all like some other classical pieces might.

Diane: Overture by Claude Debussy – while not one of his more well-known works, this piece is so joyful and perfectly evokes the feeling of frolicking in a flower-filled meadow somewhere. Absolutely love all the delicate riffs and the sense of movement it evokes.

Jupiter (From The Planets) by Gustav Holst – another classical banger. Interesting rhythms, powerful instrumentation, a whole bunch of jollity. Can't go wrong.

Danzón no. 2 by Gustavo Dudamel and Arturo Márquez (I like the Simón Bolívar Youth Orchestra version) – wow. I don't even know how to describe this one. The palpable sense of energy and joy it creates is almost beyond words for me. If you don't want to listen to the whole thing skip to like 6:30 and you'll get the jist.

Chocolate from The Nutckraker by Tchaikovsky – this is my go-to for waltzing around my room. Love the sweeping strings and energetic castanets. 10/10 motivation during study breaks.

so uh I hope you like these!

I have a very limited knowledge of classical music, I admit, so I’m only including the few that I know. I’m open to recommendations from experts. :)

Warhol: ten portraits. Cont'd

Previously on “Warhol”. At the end of a mildly disappointing expo at the Musée du Luxembourg in Paris, last September, I stumbled on Warhol’s “Ten portraits of Jews in the XXth century.” First top five have been commented on in a previous post. Bottom row now, l. to r.: Recognise him? I hadn’t. (Thanks to all those who tried and did identify some.) This is George Gershwin, born in Brooklyn,…
