Holst 'The Planets'
This version by the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra is very precious to me. I actually saw them perform this as an 11-year-old. My first Orchestral concert and it blew my mind.
Had this on a cassette for many years and finally tracked down the LP quite recently.

One of my favourite albums for the wonderful music and the playing.
Lute music by Silvius Weiss, a direct contemporary of JS Bach.
It's also my go to system test album.
Solo lute recorded in a church.
It pretty much encapsulates all I need to know about system performance. There's no deep bass, but that's a secondary thing for me.
I can hear straight away if a component or system can do what I want.

Some solo cello, especially for @Slinger .
Powerful stuff.

Thanks, Jerry. If Michael Nyman did solo cello...
Sitting here in the semidarkness; this music absolutely fits the atmosphere. I may leave the Brahms until tomorrow in case it shatters the mood.

Vivaldi, there's no sun today, so the joy and happiness of its music make me feel better !

Found yesterday in a shop - GIBERT - : Alberic MAGNARD
I knew this composer but not the Sonates for piano & violon.

Thanks for the Magnard chamber music recommendation.
I've failed to bond with his symphonies previously, but his chamber music seems more amenable.
Currently enjoying....

Very interesting.
TIMPANI is a very good record company who produce some rare opus.
Laurent Wagschal is an interesting pianist.

Once or twice per month, NAXOS very kindly sends me links to download one or other of their albums. Generally, there's a choice of three, and I chose this one this time around. Oddly, despite it being Chinese in origin, I seem to hear bits of typically British "Light" music from the likes of Albert Ketèlbey and Eric Coates. Maybe that's just me, though.
