Last.fm is currently playing Lionel Rogg's interpretation of the Passacaglia and Fugue BWV 582 and I'm wallowing in it.

Just found a review of the track on Amazon

The master performance here is of Bach's own master work, the "Passacaglia and Fugue in C minor"; the finest piece of its kind that I know, the "Toccata and Fugue in D minor" not excepted. Rogg has a marvellous grasp of the architecture and pacing of this wondrous work and the colour he draws from the organ by his choice of stops is a delight: the music thunders and surges, then subsides into what for all the world sounds like bubbles of sound percolating through the denser surrounding air. I have tried in vain to find a performance equal to this but for me no other famous organist can approach it

I'm inclined to agree.

Currently listening to Tchaikowsky's Manfred Symphony (was composed between 4 and 5, so I guess it's symphony four and a half)

Simon and Garfunkel. Needed some feel good.

Simon and Garfunkel would certainly make you feel ... feel around in the darknes for the nearest bin to throw up in ...

I'm listening to silence presently.
