Grieg & Enescu: The Piano Concertos and Solo Works (live) — Luiza Borac (piano) & The Radio National Orchestra Bucharest. Grieg is one of my favorite composers, another is Rachmaninoff. I’m not familiar with Enescu.

Sibelius: Finlandia Op. 26, No. 7 — Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra & Herbert von Karajan

Sibelius: Symphony No. 4, Op. 63 — Rundfunk - Sinfonie-Orchester Leipzig & Herbert Kegel

Bob Dylan: Fragments — Bootleg Series Vol. 17 “Time Out of Mind” Sessions (1996-1997)
Official release is Friday 27 January, 2023 (tomorrow) but it’s available now on Apple Music where I’m listening to it. Bob’s perhaps last really great album.

I’m listening to a never-ending conversation between Bavarian director Werner Herzog and Slovenian philosopher Slavoj Žižek. But it’s completely AI-generated, even the voices are synthesized. But it sounds just like them and they say things the real people might actually say, if you know something of their work. It’s quite a laugh. https://infiniteconversation.com/

I'm still stuck on CSN... I know this song is really about a boat but it's forever about the Crux star constellation to me... Just one of the great songs in the world that I still cannot get over.

Instead of Spotify, I generally prefer human DJ's that talk a little about the artist and the song.
Here are a few of my favorites:
WXPN radio- https://xpn.org/ Many excellent shows on the weekends and evenings. They've upped the "public announcements which has become annoying.
KXFM Radio- https://www.kxfmradio.org/

A Whole 'Nuther Thing, by Bob Goodman. at KXFM, or download his shows as a podcast:
https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/bobksbr 60-something who grew up in NYC who hosts a weekly 2 hour show- no ads!
https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/w ... 1508384305

The Many Moods of Ben Vaughn- on XPN weekends as a one hour show.

Palimpsest, an album of arrangements for clarinet, marimba, and bandoneon. I can't decide if this is a naturally good if somewhat neglected combination or if it just means that the right people can make anything work. Either way, it works very well.

I'm streaming it on Napster (Nhapsody? Rhapster?), but I see it on Amazon Music as well.

A Beautiful Time — Willie Nelson. It won Country Album of the Year last night. Willie turns 90 in April. On first listen “Tower of Song” is my favorite.

Yep, fifteen albums and singles, ten hours of music. I downloaded it to my phone from Apple Music so I could listen in my car. BTW Apple Music says only 186 songs, not sure why the discrepancy.
The playlist song order is interesting. It appears to be roughly chronological for one batch of songs (1-125), then it goes back to their early songs and proceeds forward from there (126-149).

And then repeats those two batches for a total of 298 songs. Best I can tell, the second half is the same as the first -- same comments on the track, for example.

I've heard just about every song except an Italian version of As Tears Go By: "Con le mie lacrime" -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UNG2r6y ... &index=140

Anyway, thanks for pointing out this playlist -- it sounds great, especially with headphones.

Must be a mistake on the part of whoever uploaded it to YT as Apple Music says it’s only 186 tracks.
