Herbert Blomstedt and the San Francisco Symphony play Sibelius' majestic 5th symphony to something near perfection. Aided as usual by Decca's demonstration quality recording.

If I were a virtuoso pianist, I think I'd want to play Bach like Glenn Gould. Not so much because his Bach is my favorite, although it is certainly a favorite, but because it is constantly changing.

I was enjoying some of the English Suites.

Yes, I'm a Gould fan, though not a Bach fan, still I enjoy having this box set:

Igor Levit's recording of Mendelssohn's Lieder Ohne Worte was his response to raising anti-Semitism. And it is deeply moving, with or without the back story.
