This weekend my favourite scallop dish (ginger, salt, pepper, spring onions, soya sauce, cooked briefly in a wok) and then squid (garlic, salt, pepper, parsley) cooked in a wok. Then two favourite violin concertos: the first Shostakovich concerto (Lisa Batiashvili) and the Elgar concerto (Thomas Zehetmair). Both concertos in the top three recorded performances ever, and both 21st century recordings, which bodes well for the future of classical violin playing.
