What are your listening plans for the next year?

[71 dB]

I listened to Ives' 4th symphony on spotify (some live recording). Weird stuff, but mostly enjoyable.

Do you have any gaps in your listening repertoire that you´d like to fill? Or any particular composer that you´d like to explore more?

I think I'm at the point now where I've explored enough repertoire that I know what I do and don't enjoy listening to, but that now I need to re-evaluate some only half-digested music and even some old favorite works and recordings.  I sometimes find myself venturing an opinion on a recording and then realizing that I haven't listened to it in 10 or 15 years and that my opinion might change considerably on a re-listen.

Whenever I begin to think this it is always a bad sign that puts a halt to my curiosity when discovering new repertoire

My current list of composers to explore or explore further:

Active at the moment - Sibelius, Szymanowski, and as of yesterday I've started on Nielsen and Tubin.

Still to go - Shostakovich, Taneyev, MacDowell, Bruckner, Tippett, Britten, Prokofiev, Enescu, Grieg, Martinu, Vaughan Williams, Simpson (chamber music), Vine (symphonies), Magnard, Schoenberg, Villa Lobos, Dutilleux, Schnittke, Jensen (don't even remember who that is!), Franck, Hindemity, Silvestrov, Onslow, Rubbra.

I don't think I'm going to be running out of repertoire for a while.

You must mean Irgens-Jensen? Yes, (in Desi Arnaz voice) "You have a lotta listenin' ta do!"

Thank you for your interesting replies, folks.

Another resolution that I plan to stick to this year: after starting to listen to a box set, no matter how big, not to stop until I have heard the last disc. The only exception I allow myself is going through different boxes simultaneously.

Don't worry, I have over 2 terabytes of FLAC files on disk and access to everything on Tidal.  I'm not going to run out of new things to listen to.  I just think I'd like to spend some time re-evaluating old favorites and lots of half-digested music.
