The Rite of Spring - Stravinsky

Album cover of the Philips LP in Hi-Fi Stereo number SAL3471 (832 525 AY) Colin Davis and The London Symphony Orchestra released in 1964 - This is perhaps one of the finest recordings of this famous work. This record is from my own collection and is in almost mint condition. Another version of this same recording (Different Album Sleeve for Europe) I saw priced at over £300.00..!

Romantic Music I: Hector Berlioz (1803-1869)

There are a handful of compositions that changed music history. This is one of them. Still a student, Berlioz became obsessed with an actress. The result was a work of startling originality, the first true Romantic composition: Symphonie Fantastique.

And so we begin with Hector Berlioz, the original tortured Romantic in an era that was full of them.  Musicologists routinely talk about the “Three Bs”—Bach, Beethoven and Brahms.  But for me, the third “B” has been and always will be Berlioz.  And I’m not alone: The original phrase, coined in the 1850s, specifically included Berlioz and I know many musicians who share my view.  Berlioz, however,…

Midnight was my first time seeing Colin Morgan in anything, and I instantly became OBSESSED with Jethro. I liked the plot, but I loved the 47th century emo representation on board the ship. It was my favorite episode because of Jethro. I could relate to him. I bought a book about Midnight just for the pictures of him in it…. Younger me for some reason didn’t think to google the actor sigh

Three years later I watched Merlin and it took me a season to realize he played Jethro! I was amazed. Colin Morgan. Damn, I love him, and I love Merlin. I’m glad I found the show when I did. This is my favorite kind of coincidence.

From the Doctor Who ‘The Complete History’ vol 59

I also bought Russel T Davis’ book just for the quotes about Colin Morgan. He drools over Colin Morgan just like the rest of us

Y'ALL.

I've had a huge midnight epiphany.

When I first noticed the sheer number of Colin Firth's roles where they got him wet, I posited the following:

I thought maybe Pride and Prejudice influenced Colin Firth.

This was soon proved to be false - it's been happening since his very first movies and he has at least 3 I can remember off the top of my head from before 1995 showing him in wet clothes. So I shrugged and moved on.

But now, watching all screen adaptations of Pride and Prejudice in chronological order, I've made a huge discovery:

P&P didn't influence Colin Firth.

Colin Firth influenced Pride & Prejudice

Before 1995 there were ZERO wet Darcys. After 1995? At least 4 out of the next 5 put Darcy in water. (the 2003 version gets Elizabeth wet, and puts her in a dream sequence with a mysterious figure dismounting from a horse that could be Darcy, but it's unconfirmed as she wakes up before we see his face)

Also I've read >500 variations on kindle unlimited (shut up I'm normal this is fine and clearly healthy) and even in the books when we can't visually appreciate it, it's a trope to put Darcy in the rain or have him go swimming. WHAT

Colin Firth's trend of getting wet onscreen is so powerful that it changed the public perception of a 200yo character
