In the week the Prince of Darkness Ozzy Osbourne died, here's a nocturne by Chopin. Actually Ozzy has been due to feature in the Bulletin for some time, but not necessarily in Song of the Week. Watch this space. 

RIP Ozzy (if appropriate in your case).

The pianist is Canadian Jan Lisiecki.

Watch any Glastonbury? Go to Glastonbury? Maybe not your thing?  Well, controversy aside, the one thing you have to say about Glasto is that musicians have to be truly terrible to not be loved or get great reviews. The vibe is so positive that all faculties are suspended. And, you know, that's no bad thing.

In the week Brian Wilson died this has to be Song of the Week. Brian, who featured in a previous Song of the Week with the anguished 'Still I Dream of It', wrote many great songs - and it's worth checking out all the obituaries which link to them if you don't know his work - but 'Good Vibrations' is the pinnacle. 

"A symphony must be like the world. It must embrace everything."

Probably the most famous quote attributed to Gustav Mahler and when you listen to some of his works it feels like he is changing direction every few notes with the vicissitudes of life. But amid the turmoil he wrote some of the most beautiful romantic music you'll hear. Here Juanjo Mena conducts the BBC Philharmonic.
