I picked up some CDs today. I went to Newbury Comics (Amazon usually can't compete with the price that these guys have on classical) with the intent to pick up something lush and romantic in style that I haven't heard before. After browsing for a bit, I decided on a cycle of Dvořák's symphonies conducted by István Kertész and a CD with Arthur Rubinstein and the Guarneri Quartet playing Brahms' Piano Quintet in F minor and Dvořák's Piano Quintet in A Major.
It got me thinking. What do the other members of B&B like to listen to?
My last purchase was a set of John Dowland's works with Anthony Rooley and The Consort of Musicke. I like having a collection of actual CDs. They sound much better than MP3s and it is nice to support artists and orchestras that need that support.
What were the last few CDs you purchased? Did you like them? Did you pick them up on a whim?
I miss Richard Manuel.This is the last CD that I bought.
I'm listening to it right now.

Just last week in fact - the complete Bach Box on Brilliant. Figured, at 70¢/disc how can you go wrong - was amazed at the quality of the performances & sound on most of what I've heard so far - mostly new recordings by Baroque specialists on period instruments.
