here is a fine romantic symphony that I enjoyed discovering. Full of power and passion and some good tunes. It sounds quite Brahmsian to me. Beethoven in there a lot, as well.

Possibly the fastest Bach B-minor mass around - which suits my mood just right!
Lovely orchestral and instrumental articulation and superb vocalists.
Great sound.
Yum.

I think I prefer it to the original.

An 'Australian Requiem' by Peter Sculthorpe.
Includes aboriginal instruments as well as a traditional classical orchestra - and why not! *It adds interest and acknowledges 1000s of years of local history.
Interesting and beautiful by turns, often simultaneously.

I have been playing symphonies 1 & 2 by Robert Hermann quite a bit recently - for some reason they have struck a melodic chord with me.
They are rapidly growing in stature as fas as I am concerned - very fine and enjoyable works indeed.
I can't recall now how I first came across them, but I am very glad that I did.

Listening to Shostakovich's 10th string quartet right now (at 3am!). Weller Quartet, London Records. Brilliant piece, brilliant recording.

Thanks for the heads-up on the Weller Quartet. Not sure I've ever come across them before.
Yep, that Shosty 10th quartet is excellent!
There's a whole 'box set' of complete Weller Quartet recordings available on Spotify ...
