E.g. what's more popular, the Hebrides Overture or Symphonic Dances from West Side Story?
Who gets more concert performances, Christoph Gluck or Christophe Beck?

Classical music lovers: does anyone know if there are resources that can tell you how popular certain composers or works are globally? Radio airplay, concert perfs etc?

Substack question: how can I turn off emails without unsubscribing?
I.e. the new app is great, and renders the deluge of emails unnecessary and annoying. I don't need the emails anymore. But if I try to turn off the emails, I get unsubscribed.

The trailer is here!! The Summer special is one of my favourite things we've ever done with Mickey.
...... and I'm also massively happy that we finally have a trailer that's as bizarre as the show actually is. Enjoy
