What are you listening to now?

Carter
SQ no. 4
Composers Quartet
http://www.youtube.com/v/fz8P5lJqZ10

I've always found the Composers Quartet's versions of Carter far more to my taste than to the Arditti, Pacifica or Juillard: it's a shame that only the recordings of the first two quartets have made their way onto CD.

Listening to Enigma Variations. Sounds like a great performance so far.

Something by Schubert.  D894, perhaps.

2013's grand champion in the category of Best Album with the Worst Cover is Katarzyna Popowa-Zydron's marvelous Chopin piano recital, which reveals a really wonderful performer... she entered into the Chopin competition long ago, but exited due to a sudden illness. Maybe this explains her comparative anonymity - if so, what a shame.

Amazing how much one can do wrong with just 5 words (legibility, mixing unmatching fonts). But your comments piqued my interest.
