Esa-Pekka Salonen and S.F. Symphony release new recordings on Apple Music
The music platform has released Salonen and the Symphony's performance of Jean Sibelius' ' Finlandia,' recorded live in concert March 14-16, for fans to stream.
Three additional digital-only spatial audio recordings are set to release on the Apple Music Classical app in the coming months. Igor Stravinsky's ' Symphony in Three Movements ' will be made available on July 4, followed by Sibelius' Symphony No. 1 on Aug. 15, and Salonen's Cello Concerto featuring principal cello Rainer Eudeikis, which does not have a release date yet. They are all produced through SFS Media, the Symphony's audio-visual label.
The Symphony began its partnership with Apple Music Classical upon its release in 2023, and Salonen and the orchestra have previously released 11 recordings through the platform, including compositions by composers Anders Hillborg, Elizabeth Ogonek and Ottorino Respighi.
Apple Music Classical is available for free to most Apple Music subscribers and allows its users to make playlists, utilize optimal search features, and enjoy high-quality immersive audio.
Salonen's final shows with the Symphony are nearing as the 2024-25 season draws to a close, but classical music fans have a few more opportunities to catch the conductor in person. He is scheduled to conduct Stravinsky's 'The Firebird' Friday, May 23, through Sunday, May 25, and his last scheduled performances will be of Gustav Mahler's Symphony No. 2, 'Resurrection,' on June 12-14.
The Finnish conductor and composer took over the music director position from Michael Tilson Thomas in 2020 and announced his departure from the Symphony last spring. He attributed his decision to differences with leadership, stating that he does 'not share the same goals for the future of the institution as the Board of Governors does.'
Salonen currently has no plans to join the forthcoming season's lineup, not even to return for a guest appearance.

9-1-1 Season 9: Everything We Know About the ABC Drama's Fall Return
Even if math isn't your strong suit, you should know that 9-1-1 fans minus the 118 equals one very long summer. Season 8 marked a major turning point for the ABC procedural, with the death of Captain Bobby Nash (played by Peter Krause) thrusting the firehouse into uncharted, uncertain territory. With the pain of his loss still fresh, along with the myriad changes that follow such an unexpected event, fans are eager to see how the 118 will navigate this strange new world in Season 9. More from TVLine Eva LaRue Leaving General Hospital The Bachelor (Finally) Renewed at ABC, Gets New Showrunner Wimbledon 2025: How to Watch the Tennis Matches Live Online Aside from Krause, however, the show's entire roster of series regulars is expected back for Season 9, including Angela Bassett as Athena Grant, Oliver Stark as Evan 'Buck' Buckley, Aisha Hinds as Hen Wilson, Kenneth Choi as Chimney Han, Jennifer Love Hewitt as Maddie Han, Ryan Guzman as Eddie Diaz and Gavin McHugh as Christopher Diaz. So, what new drama awaits those familiar faces? Read on for a complete breakdown of everything we know about 9-1-1 Season 9 so far, then drop a comment with your own hopes for the 118's return this fall. Though an official premiere date has not yet been announced, we do know that new episodes of Season 9 will air Thursdays at 8/7c on ABC this fall. 9-1-1 will be followed by spinoff 9-1-1: Nashville at 9 pm, then Grey's Anatomy Season 22 at 10 pm. Production on the procedural's ninth season is expected to begin sometime in mid-to-late July, according to Oliver Stark, who said in a June 24 interview that he's returning to set 'in about a month.' Ryan Guzman had 9-1-1 fans concerned in May when he posted a farewell story to Instagram, fueling speculation that Eddie's time on the show was coming to an end. 'Well, it officially happened,' Guzman said. 'It's the last day on this lot. Stage 6, I'll miss ya. Seven years. That's crazy.' But this turned out to be much ado about nothing. Guzman was merely saying goodbye to the Fox lot, where 9-1-1 has filmed since it premiered in 2018; the show is relocating to Burbank for Season 9. Following Bobby's untimely demise, the 118 is in serious need of new leadership. Hen was the logical first choice, but when she turned down the promotion, the fandom's collective attention shifted to Chimney, whose inspiring finale speech all but guaranteed him the gig. If you were hoping to spend more time in the home that Bobby and Athena built, you're out of luck. Despite initially balking at the idea, Athena ultimately put the house up for sale in the Season 8 finale, leaving curious fans to wonder where she'll be putting down roots next. And could Athena's major life changes also apply to her career? Only time will tell.

James Gunn Reveals Superman's Forgotten Power to Hide His Secret Identity
director recently unveiled details about the Hypno glasses that Clark Kent wears to hide his secret identity. Kent's disguise to conceal his Superman persona is one of the most popular covers used by a superhero among comic book fans. Superman, which features David Corenswet as the Man of Steel, sees the actor integrating the glasses perfectly into his Clark Kent persona, as shown in the movie's trailers. The Suicide Squad director recently talked about the hypno glasses, which Superman uses to conceal his secret identity. James Gunn revealed to that he forgot about the glasses possessing a power. He was reminded of the same by comic book writer Tom King. Moreover, the hypno glasses, which allow Clark Kent to appear different from Superman, are also canon in the comics. The DC Studios co-CEO said, 'It's kind of been forgotten, but that's from the comics. I was sitting with Tom King, the comic book writer, and I was like, 'you know the thing that I just don't really know how to reconcile in myself is the glasses because the glasses always bothered me as a kid.' They bothered me because I just don't have that much suspension of disbelief to believe that. But he said, 'You know, there's an answer for that in the comics, it's canon that they hypnotize people.'' Additionally, Gunn asserted that David Corenswet 'looks the most different as Clark Kent to Superman, even more so than Chris Reeve.' The description of the hypno glasses was given to comic book fans in 1978 in Superman (Vol. 1) #330. Apart from this, in the trailer, fans have also seen Clark Kent alter his voice and persona according to Superman. He does so when he gets interviewed by Lois Lane (Rachel Brosnahan).
