CDs listened to today:

• Bela Bartok: Concerto for Piano No. 2
• Joe Lovano: Joyous Encounter
• Benedict Mason: String Quartet No. 1
• Bela Bartok: Concerto for Violin
• Bjork: Vespertine
• Elliott Carter: Symphony No. 1
• Ludwig von Beethoven: The Symphonies, disk 2 (Nos. 2 & 8, conducted by Roger Norrington) (I realized today that I find Beethoven's second symphony to be my least favorite. To me, it seems like that's the one closest to the style of Mozart, and that's a bad thing. Still, the worst Beethoven is better than the best Mozart [pretty much].)
