Re: What are you listening to?
I've recently been enjoying double cd of Bach Cantatas recorded live, performed by Chorale Saint-Michel and 'La Banda' Orchestra directed by Gerry Welter. Basically, I turned pages for a friend's organ recital in Luxembourg last year, and the guy who recorded that concert kindly have me some of his other recordings. They all seen to be uniformly great, but this Cantata disc is especially enjoyable. I know nothing about any of the performers, cut they do a lovely job here. Cantatas are BWV 140, 187, 10 and 70.

For the past few weeks I have listened to a lot of music that is entirely new to me, mainly Baroque music, so it was comforting to finish off today's listening session by returning to a thoroughly enjoyable performance of a symphony that is very familiar to me:
Jean Sibelius
Symphony No. 1
Lahti Symphony Orchestra
Osmo Vänskä - conducting.
