[OT] What are you listening to lately?

Other music forums (fora?) I frequent usually have a thread like this. What music have you been listening to lately? It doesn't even have to be piano / keyboard related, just whatever you're spinning on the turntable (literal or metaphorical) these days. At the moment, I'm focused on a couple of things: 1) Baroque music, mostly the obvious stuff. Last night was Vivaldi's Four Seasons, the recording by the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields, conducted by Sir Neville Marriner. Tonight, I started Bach's Brandenburg Concertos (Karl Richter, Münchener Bach-Orchester), just the first one so far. I know this stuff fairly well, but it's nice to listen to old favorites. 2) Yes. I was super into prog rock as a teen, got away from a lot of it, but I still enjoy Yes quite a bit. I'm mostly familiar with they 70s and early 80s stuff, but I'm going back and listening to some of their albums I'm less familiar with. Tonight was Talk (1994), by the same lineup as 90125 and Big Generator. It's not bad, sounds similar to Big Generator. Perfectly listenable, but it's easy to see why it didn't do well when most people we're listening to Nirvana and Soundgarden at the time ... How about you?

rsl12 I wish I had the time to learn all the Czerny studies in the world! I listen to Op 754 - 756 because they are Czerny's greatest serious output for concert/salon etudes, and I want to be exact in how I prescribe these studies to my students. I have one who recently completed Op 754 No 4 and it did wonders for her arpeggio technique.
