I am listening to Eugene Onegin by Tchaikovsky. Its based on a story by Akexander Pushkin. This is perhaps Tchaikovsky‘s most famous opera and it is more of a lyric opera. The libretto in the opera is close to Pushkin’s story.Its somewhat of a tragic story with an opera centered around charater which rejects a young country woman’s(Tatyana) love.

I was listening to some jazz in the radio and quietly going about my business. I heard this sound which was familiar as well as fresh at the same time. Turns out its a band called Bad Plus. It is reminiscing of my misspent childhood when I used to literally memorize Nirvana songs (which I have forgotten since) and my later reincarnation when I started reaching out to jazz and classical.
