Tuesday assorted links

1. Somewhat good news on the anti-inflammatory front.

2. Anna Netrebko sings Mussorgsky’s The Nursery.

3. Long report on the new virus strain (“not yet in Houston”), yet no one is saying we need to hurry up.  And a further update.

4. Spectacular Ice Age rock paintings found in Colombian rainforest.

5. Yves Nat Beethoven piano sonatas now complete on YouTube.  Old-fashioned sound and clunky in some ways, but also some of the most profound Beethoven to have been recorded.  It is the “direct, frank, bring you right to tears” approach.
