I just came to this by chance. A really wonderful and informative lecture. She has a voice that one can listen to for hours and not get bored. The subtitles at times made me laugh.......such as when she said Mahler more than once , the subtitle read " milder". I have seen Lady Macbeth on two occasions and the 4th Symphony 6 ( yes 6 ) times . Both are wonderfully expressive works .

Is 14:35 an expression of the Woke collective or what!
Is this what Stalin listened to?
Interesting with subtitles. Indecipherable otherwise.
How many languages do you speak, or at least try? I am Dutch and I can follow it easily.
