=====================================================================
Normally,
when we dig into the Podcast
Vault on Fridays, I provide a fresh musing on a past montage, and provide a
bonus track via YouTube. This week, however, I will not be doing that.
If you wish to read my original take – assorted with a then-bonus clip, please
use the hyperlink I provided at the top of the page.
This
week, I will rather use the opportunity to provide my “Year In Review” and
collected annual assemblage of assorted YouTube clips.
2019 was a busy
year for us on ITYWLTMT. Among the highlights, we spent a lot of time this year
on collections: Part Three of Project 366 proposed a good number
of collections from Bach’s concertos to Stravinsky’s ballets, without
forgetting Beethoven and Mozart. The latter two composers were also featured
throughout the year in our Friday montages, where we completed our overall
survey of their piano sonatas.
In
September, we rebranded our Pod-O-Matic channel into a daily share
portal, walking through old and new Listener Guides from Project 366. We are
almost done with our first four months of daily podcasts, and will provide our
next tranche in calendar form on or around New Year’s day.
We have
continued with our bi-weekly Tuesday Blog, and are setting up for 2020’s
“Beethoven Year” with fresh shares of some of our favourite Ludwig works –
sonatas, concertos, symphonies and the Missa Solemnis, interspersed with
other selections in our ongoing Cover 2 Cover and Vinyl’s Revenge
series.
Our Friday
programming for 2020 will continue to be somewhat sporadic as we intertwine Podcast
Vault selections (per the Project 366 calendar) with new podcasts; by the
end of 2020 we will have created fewer original montages than in past years. We
are on track, however, to issue our 365th podcast in August 2021.
(TEASER - in September 2020, we will embark into another cycle of daily shares
– more on that as we get closer).
Among our
new montages, you will get a good dose of Mozart, Bruckner and (inevitably)
Beethoven. (I plan something special with our 2021 “daily programming” with
Mozart, so I need to get more titles in the bank, as it were.)
One area I
have neglected in the last few months are my posts on OperaLively. I
will admit I feel quite overwhelmed with preparing the daily shares, much more
than I originally thought, actually. As a result, I made the conscious decision
to put Once or Twice a Fortnight on hiatus. My hope is to resume opera
posts next fall, when I’m done with Project 366.
Before I
forget: we are planning a trip to a warm spot in mid-January. I’ll do my best
to queue up material, but if I don’t, I promise to catch up!
Always
appreciate your comments and reactions on our many platforms, including
Facebook and Twitter. Jeep them coming!
Happy and
Safe New Year to everyone! Please enjoy our “Video Favourites” for 2019.
