Handel Organ Concertos.  I love the sound of this organ... so much that I looked it up to see if I can find more recordings that employ it.  It is a Rieger organ and is found in the Vienna Golden Hall.  Anyway here is the recording, which is phenomenal:

[Mandryka]

Listening to Bartok violin sonata 1 and trying to hear if there's anything connecting it to Schoenberg op 11.

John Luther Adams - Become River

[Harry]

CPE Bach.
Sonatas for Clavichord.
Sechs sonates fürs Clavier mit veränderten reprisen.
Dedicated to the Princess Amalia von Prussia.
Linda Nicholson, Clavicord.
Instrument: Johann Adolph Hass, Hamburg 1667.
Pitch a'= 415 Hz.
Recorded 1988, in the Forde Abbey (Dorset), Great Hall.

I hold this recording in great esteem. First the fabulous technique displayed by Linda Nicholson, and secondly the fine original instrument she is using. It is extremely difficult to record such an instrument, especially if it is so low tuned. Still I love the sonority, and the dark hued tones, it is emitting from its belly. Tempi are just fine, and Nicholson's enthusiasm which is highlighting every note makes it a pleasure to hear these works.

A first listen to another John Adams work: Harmonielehre

A fine performance - another example that what Simon Rattle does well, he does VERY well!

Shara Nova: Titration (The Crossing / Donald Nally, conductor) - Hard to believe that this is the 30th recording by this expert choir, now one of the best on the planet. The composer, usually known for her work in the the pop world as My Brightest Diamond, also has many classically-oriented projects under her belt, and this one is quite attractive. She combines traditional choral techniques with unusual sound effects and bits of speech.

foxandpeng, I was upset this morning - tried streaming the Finnish album from that Glazunov series and Qobuz only played 30 second samples 

Any top favorites so far from the series, excluding the symphonies?

Sounds interesting!

Not masterpieces by any means, but they're nice and relaxing.

I'm a huge fan of Ross Edwards' Piano Concerto:

What a shame ☹️. All of my listening is via Spotify, which is broadly pretty good. Might be worth a go.

Possibly Volume 2 or 4? I think both are excellent, as much as for their content as the performances/recordings.
