Thank you Chen Tao!

Your insights are always appreciated by me. . .

I'm going to add that Brilliant set to the wish list. 

My recent "discovery" of Schutz has me craving more of his music.

You might also want to look into Hans-Christoph Rademann's ongoing Schütz series on Carus - mighty impressive IMO, as is his earlier recording of Der Schwanengesang on Raumklang.

Very sweet oboe playing in both recordings.

[Artem]

Not sure about this one. These two works were my introduction to Norgard. Maybe not the best place to start? But I didn't like it all that much.

Tchaikovsky: Piano Trio In A Minor, Op. 50, "To The Memory Of A Great Artist

Listening to a couple of new recordings. First up another recording of Tchaikovsky's Piano Trio - very good so far though I think the Brilliant classics performance may be a bit better at this stage. Next up Schnittke's Piano Quintet and other chamber works followed by Myaskovsky: String Quartets Nos. 9, 10 & 11:

[Todd]

Finished up the cycle.  Superb start to finish, and probably bested overall only by Andras Schiff and Sandor Vegh.

Schnittke: Symphony No. 0

Im getting to like this Symphony which seems to be one of Schnittke's more accessible ones - I particularly like the echoes of Prokofiev's 6th in the second movement.
At some stage this evening I will listen to the Chamber Symphony, Op. 110A (the transcription of String Quartet No. 8 ) on the Shostakovich 2-fer - I do like this recording but I dont think its an essential part of my Shostakovich collection (yet):

Arnold: Symphony No. 5, Op. 74

Ive been pretty interested in this composer the last couple of months and exploring his music on and off. There are some pretty wild mood swings in his music and he can change from being playful and witty to being dour and serious quite often so its hard to know what way to take him!. The Symphonies are all pretty substantial works - this one (5th) has some really nice moments in the slow movement and finale and a lot of fooling around in the other movements.
I think there are only 2 options if you want to collect all Arnold Symphonies so I opted for the cheap one with Naxos - it is certainly a very good set if anyone is considering getting it:

Next up from this set:

Not really a Hantai disc - his role is next to that of flautists Hugo Reyne and Sebastien Marq only secondary.
