For almost two years orchestras round the world have found ways to carry on making outstanding music despite the formidable ongoing challenges of #COVID19. This countdown of my twelve favourite symphony and orchestral records of the year salutes them all.

Brahms: Symphony 4; @jamesmacm: Larghetto
@pghsymphony @manfredhoneck @RefRecordings
I'll let my mother, a Brahms symphony stan for 70 years, review this for me: "Wonderful! Exciting, plenty of oomph and the instruments are all so clear."
Thanks mum.

A #NewYearsDay observation about holiday traditions: @MummersFestival should get as much limelight as @RoseParade on January 1 -- they both have great traditions. But it doesn't, because #mummersparade isn't a made-for-TV event like #RoseParade... 1/
@MummersFestival @RoseParade Having been to the #RoseParade, it's scripted down TO THE SECOND. @RoseParade staff go to great lengths to make sure the show goes off without a hitch, and stays within its two-hour timeframe... 2/
@MummersFestival @RoseParade @RoseParade float designers even get fined if their floats malfunction and cause delays (e.g., last year's fire on a float). #RoseParade is essentially a TV show that happens to have a big audience that watches it live. 3/
#NewYearsDay is when I used to resolve to lose weight by eating healthier & going to the gym.
But I'd get overwhelmed with guilt when I skipped a workout or ate dessert & eventually get discouraged.
A few years ago, I started a new ritual & its made a HUGE difference.

(2) I use #NewYearsDay as a time to take inventory of my body.
I know- that sounds like it could get awfully problematic. But this is NOT a time to catalog every fault. This is about gratitude.
And changing that one tiny thing about your mindset can change how you see yourself

(3) Here's an example. I might start with my feet, which are looking pretty rough right now. I'd notice the mangled toenail that fell off after I injured it trail running this fall.
And while I was scrubbing off dead skin, trimming nails & moisturizing my feet, I'd say thanks.

Are you making New Year's Resolutions? There's tons of pressure in the media to change your lifestyle - but #psychology research shows that these messages can backfire badly - harming your health - so here's a short thread summarising the most interesting findings #NewYearsDay
(|1) Lots of diets/fitness regimes play on a sense of guilt - about what you're eating/how much exercise you do/screen time/stress levels. But there's tonnes of evidence that feelings of guilt can actually make you MORE likely to fail in your goals etc. bbc.com/future/story/2…
(2) Guilt increases cravings, and depletes feelings of self-control - a bad combination! It also triggers the "what-the-hell" response, so a small lapse means that all your good intentions have been in vain, but one piece of cake can't ruin all that good work! #resolutions2019
