Hi All
I'm Judith and live in Leeds UK
Loved classical music since childhood but took it up seriously four years ago and realised it is a world. Love most composers with favourite composers being Brahms and Schumann. Fascinated with the Schumanns and Brahms involvement with them.
Adore Joshua Bell and Steven Isserlis. Met Steven twice at recitals and he was lovely. Seeing Joshua live in three weeks. Also love Stephen Hough.
Well looking forward to being involved in this forum and hope you all have a Happy New Year.
Welcome aboard! I can't I'm the biggest fan of Schumann, but I enjoy a lot of Brahms' music. As your presence on this forum continues to flourish, you'll notice two things about me: 1. I'm a moron (always prominent within each post of mine) and 2. I have a strong preference for late 19th up to mid-20th Century music. I hope you enjoy your time here and please don't hesitate to jump right in wherever you want!
Howdy Judith. Greetings from a Yankee living in Vienna, Austria. Welcome to the forum. 8)
Welcome, Judith! Hooray for another female presence here at GMG - we have too few.
Hope you enjoy your time here!
Welcome! Nice to see a female contrbutor.
Hello, Judith, and a Happy New Year to you :)
Hello Judith. Welcome to the forum and a Happy New Year to you too. :)
Judith - Welcome and enjoy yourself here!

Yes indeed. I just noticed that you also post on the
Classical Music Mayhem forum as well. Small world... 8)

Now THAT is a great line to use on the ladies! :D 8)
Pay no attention to that comment: our
Mirror Image is quite fascinating and highly intelligent, and NOT in a clinical way! $:) :D
And if you like
Robert Schumann, you MUST hear the ultimate performances of his symphonies:

And if you like
Schumann, you might want to try one of his favorite composers:
Jan (Johann) Kalliwoda:

Welcome. I have been involved with several classical music forums and this one is the best.
Welcome, huge Schumann and Brahms fan as well (although Schumann > Brahms)
Thank you all for your lovely welcome. Feel as though, already made friends.
Can I ask a question. Loving the posts but is there anyway I can "like" them?
Thank you once again :) :)

Unfortunately, Judith, there is no 'like' function.
Luckily, there is no 'like' function. ;)
Welcome Judith, enjoy your time here.
A female contributor is a rare sighting on GMG so you are very welcome indeed.

And if you like Schumann, you might want to try one of his favorite composers: Jan (Johann) Kalliwoda:
Gosh, Cato, thanks so much for the link, the symphony is playing while I type.
If I had to guess who the composer is from only listening, I would have said Schumann.
Kalliwoda wrote this in 1840, fascinating!
Hi Judith,
Welcome to the funnest forum on music. Even the politics thread is a lark. No hard feelings, guys, right???

Hello, Judith, and welcome. Nothing to complain about Brahms and Schumann! My first Brahms exposure, around age 12: Symphony No. 4, with Bruno Walter and the Columbia Symphony Orchestra.

Thank you. Whereabouts did she stay in Leeds?

Sorry Judith - I only just spotted this. She was a student at the University so she stayed in different locations. 'Oxey/Oxhey Halls of Residence' comes to mind.
Best wishes
