I have slowly been making my way through Handel's Saul over the course of the week. Still not to the end after days of listening, but sometimes I revisit, sometimes I listen with the booklet, sometimes during driving. Mostly hearing it in small bits. Rene Jacobs, Concerto Koln.

I'm listening to Beethoven's first piano concerto. The soloist Idil Biret is accompanied by Bilkent Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Antoni Wit.

Earlier today I listened to Florestan by Jean Sibelius.
