Yes, it was part of the Culture Show, my dad watched it. Minimalism is cool.
I'm listening to Nicola Benedetti's new album. Right now I'm on the 3rd mvt of the Mendy. It's really quite enjoyable, many aspects of it I prefer to other versions I've heard, even if there are a few sections which sound less smooth than on the versions by seasoned pros. I would recommend anyone goes and buys it (once it has come down in price a bit).

I bought it as soon as it came out, partly because her first album (the one with the Szymanowski) was so brilliant and partly because I love the Mendelssohn concerto. I agree with you - it's one of the best recordings I've heard. She's an amazing player.
At the moment, though, I'm listening to the soundtrack from The Da Vinci Code.
i'm listening to...
London Beckoned songs about money written by machines - by Panic! at the disco (yes it has that exclamation mark there in their name!) the titles haver nothing to do with the songs. They are strange, and as far from classical as you could get.

The wireless is in one of its rare moments of being switched off at the moment, but I tend to listen to Radio 3 all day, so my answer to the question is usually "whatever's being broadcast". JSB is composer of the week this week - hooray!

How many of you know the music of Federico Mompou ? I am listedning to his 2 Naxos CD's of piano music, and have now got some. The Cancion y Danzas are good to play, standard Grade 6 -8 I would say.
