It’s raining, if only un peu. ‘Jardins sous la pluie’ from Debussy’s Estampes, played by Sviatoslav Richter. … Then a dash of Thunder & Lightning, as in Johann Strauss II’s Polka (Barenboim/Vienna Phil; 2009).

By a remarkable coincidence I was just emailing to Andrew K, one of the Classical Source regular commenters, that your posting of Judith Weir’s The Welcome arrival of Rain seems to have worked, if rather slowly, when this came through. Also asked Andrew if he’d heard the Elgar at the Proms.
Lovely pic, by the way – you do get hold of some good ones.
Ah yes, the Weir.
