Ava Gardner during the filming of Ride, Vaquero!, 1953

"Music was always in her blood, but as long as the radio blared with good jazz or swing, that was for Ava and you could keep the rest. Now she buys records. Now Debussy, Ravel and Sibelius send her, and she looks forward to the day when she'll understand Beethoven. The ex-playgirl can have a heavenly time, eating dinner alone, listening to records and reading. Or spending an evening with a few like-minded friends, whose interests range far beyond Hollywood and Vine. Except for Duff and the Van Heflins, they’re not movie people. Three years ago she’d have thought it would bore her silly to sit quietly, talking the hours away. Now she finds that nothing makes her feel more alive than the process of stretching her mental horizons."

Pay no attention to what the critics say. Remember, a statue has never been set up in honour of a critic!

Propaganda:

Sibelius:

It's Just That Good, Folks

just stuck with me ever since i heard it from the first time. once i was drawing while listening to it and the ending hit so hard that i threw my apple pencil and broke it

Both melodically and orchestration-wise, undoubtedly the greatest concerto in the repertoire. It is both lyric and intensely demanding for the soloist; for the orchestra, there is as much work to do as in a symphony. Like most of Sibelius' output it stands on its own, neither following the Romantic tradition nor entirely breaking from it. It is at once sparse and powerful, and stamped in every bar is an irresistible and eloquent intensity.

downright gorgus [sic] i saw hilary hahn play it and my soul nearly left my body. hands down best violin concerto of the romantic era (even though ik people are gonna end up voting for tchaik lol)
