No. 3 "Rheinish" of latter - perfect exercise bike music reaching the finish line at almost exactly 30 minutes (Schumann's intention, I'm sure). Really enjoyed this - Schumann has never been a favourite but I've always had a feeling you can find the roots of Mahler's more pastoral moments in the Wunderhorn symphonies in him. I can hear them here. 

Disc 6: 12 "Marcia funebre", 13 "Quasi una Fantasia", 14 "Moonlight".

The "Moonlight" does not reach the sublime heights of Rowlf but in a world of imperfection one must make do with what is at hand.

Disc 1 of the Bach; No. 95 of the Beethoven, a follow up to hearing a live performance the other day. Very useful diagram of the structure here:

 

I do like a map. 

No map; digging up the front lawn whilst listening. No bodies yet.

Read somewhere that you are meant to be unimpressed by this music. Can't for the life of me see why.
