What are you listening 2 now?

That's exactly what crossed my mind when posting, but then again how many fanboys can this Nicolas Who have? 

His Schumann recordings have received rave reviews, so I imagine there are a few.

They could price it accordingly. I've seen British Progressive Jazz, for instance, release really short CDs (granted, based on old tapes) at lower prices. Downloads could be priced the same way. But I'm not sufficiently interested to investigate how Mr. van Poucke's recordings are being offered.

That's the beauty of streaming a recording...the cost is virtually nothing.

Still: Africa, symphonic poem
Fort Smith Symphony/Jeter

Definitely getting Grofe/Gershwin vibes from this music.

There is one movement of Still's First Symphony whether either he borrowed from Gershwin or Gershwin borrowed from him (depending on who composed what when).

The second of two recordings of Grieg's Piano Concerto in the Warner Andsnes box.

Saint-Saëns: Tableaux symphoniques d'après La Foi

There is something really special and inspired in this music.

Lili Boulanger
Faust and Helen
Psalm 24
Psalm 130
D'un soir triste
D'un matin de printemps

CBSO Chorus
Lynne Dawson & Ann Murray, sopranos
Bonaventura Bottone, tenor
Neil Mackenzie, tenor & Jason Howard, bass
BBC PO - Yan Pascal Tortelier

Hadn't heard Faust et Hélène before. Some wonderful stuff in there, per usual with LB's music. It is referenced as a cantata, but it reminds me more of an operatic scene.

Coronation of the Virgin with Four Saints (1490), Botticelli

Brian: English Suite No. 3

I reckon this is Brian at his most compelling. The movement The Stonebreaker has an atmosphere that evokes something ancient.
