The Soundtrack of Love: Horia Văcărescu & friends in Hall One at Kings Place (2016.02.14)

On Valentine’s Day, as a musical tribute to the highest infatuation of them all, violinist and chamber circuit darling Horia Văcărescu joins forces with cellist Anton Niculescu, former principal cellist of La Scala, prodigy pianist Andrei Licareţ, and world-acclaimed viola player Vladimir Mendelssohn for a passionate and evocative evening of Romantic repertoire. Double bass player Stacey Watton completes the consummate ensemble for Schubert’s ever-popular ‘Trout’ Quintet.

This concert is part of the prestigious series run by the London Chamber Music Society at Kings Place and is organised in partnership with the Romanian Cultural Institute in London.

Horia Văcărescu has played on a Vincenzo Ruggeri violin made in Cremona in 1720, kindly made available through the Dorothy Croft Trust for Young Musicians.

The event took place in Hall One at Kings Place.

Programme:

  • Gustav Mahler: Piano Quartet, movement in A minor
  • Johannes Brahms: Piano Quartet in C minor, Op. 60
  • Franz Schubert: Quintet for piano and strings, ‘The Trout’, D. 667

How to batch change the date of a long list of files within a folder, based on timestamps from a different folder?

How to batch change the date of a long list of files within a folder, based on timestamps from a different folder?

My situation is the following:

  • At some point I got a large database of music files, in mp3 format.
  • I added album covers using MP3tag automatically.
  • That software changed the timestamps of all my music files to some new values.
  • I still had the pre-changed files, the files with the original timestamps.
  • Now, a dilemma – based on 1,000 files with old/new timestamps, how can I transfer the old timestamps to new timestamps?

The solution proved a bit difficult. I detail it, below.

How to interpret one study about eating in front of a mirror

How to interpret one study about eating in front of a mirror

It seems like a disarmingly simple suggestion, but installing a mirror in the dining room and kitchen could be the best way to avoid piling on the pounds.
A new study suggests that when diners gaze at their own reflection, they literally, watch what they eat.
It is one of a number of simple behavioural tricks, which according to food psychologists at the University of Central Florida can prevent overeating.
“A glance in the mirror tells people more than just about their physical appearance, helps them to judge themselves”
Dr Ata Jami, University of Central Florida
They also advise eating from smaller, less fancy or even paper plates, using a fork instead of a spoon and skipping dinner if you do not feel hungry.
