Mozart concertos 14, 23 and 25 with Ivan Moravec (Joseph Vlach conducts in 25). On Supraphon. Probably the best single disc of Mozart concertos I've heard.

Not another one P!

I could not listen to one form for so long, as you are obviously doing.

P.D.Q Bach: Preachers of Crimetheus

[Que]

EDIT: bought this because of it's fame but also the idea of Brahms played by the Staatskapelle Dresden greatly appealed to me. And I was not disappointed - what a slender, elegant and focused sound!
Tempi are very broad - my goodness, can it be played any slower than this? ? 
(This slow-sickness is the curse in late 20th century performing IMO: Brahms? - slow, Mahler? - slower, Bruckner? - even slower still....)
This elegant, carefully phrased and broad approach reminds me of - in a positive way - most of Rudolf Kempe's recordings with Berliner Philharmoniker (with more opulent orchestral sound) on Testament.

Rimsky-Korsakov, Scheherazade and Russian Easter Overture, Leopold Stokowski.

Beautiful recording. The second piece may off season but wonderful to listen to at any time.

Listening to the Ravel (It's not all SQ's, Great Gable!)

[rubio]

Haydn symphonies no. 88, 89 and 92 by Kuijken/La Petite band. These performances appeal to me; especially symphony no. 88 catches my ear.
