An excellent choice, as I'm sure Karl will agree.

For the rest of the work day I'm going to attempt to listen to this, starting with Symphony No. 1.

I must confess, I've not listened to each symphony on this recording all the way through.  I seem to head straight to the 3rd, 5th, 6th or 9th symphonies, so I'm making an effort to listen to all of them this afternoon.  I'll likely run out of time, but I've heard the 9th enough times that missing it won't matter much for today's purposes.

Inspired (* Jeevesian cough *) by Cato's recent thread:

Rakhmaninov
Symphony No. 1 in D Minor, Opus 13
Phila / Ormandy

[Drasko]

Ravel - Valses nobles sans sentimentalité

[Thom]

Absolutely magnificent. This is not always appropriate music but now and then I can't escape from it, especially the no. 7.

[Thom]

Shostakovich String Quartet no. 10 (that Adagio, is there anything better?)

Shostakovich String Quartet no. 10 (that Adagio, is there anything better?)

I'll probably get slaughtered for admitting this, but I marginally refer the Rubio Quartet to the Danel Quartet in these works.
