Oh dear! What's the tracklist? Is it a variety of periods, styles and instruments, or more monochrome?
I'm impressed you're even trying this hard!

I'm sorry for being a philistine, but it really is lost on me...
sounds just like someone ripping up the tarmac outside with a pneumatic drill... :-//

Re: What are you listening to?
Schumann – Symphonies 3 & 4....
This set consisted of typically assertive Zinman performances and as such are up to his normal, high standards. I liked the fresh, positive feel to these interpretations that lilt along at pace yet never feel rushed while the slow movements are beautifully played with feeling on lovely strings. This is a very good set and would be a very good place to start if one were not familiar with Schumann.

On vinyl: Beethoven – Piano Concerto No. 5....
This was a most enjoyable performance by all concerned that was full of energy and drive.

Re: What are you listening to?
^^ some fine listening again, today Fergus...
my Bach: Motets (Jacobs) arrived today, and it has accidently fallen into my CD player on three separate occasions, since... ;-)
seriously, it's an excellent recording and performance, for which I have Paul to thank. Otherwise, it's been Bach, Handel & Vivaldi as usual.. with plenty more Bach to come over this coming week... :-))
