Gregory,  I am glad that you like it . Listening to J.S.Bach somehow seems to help me  get my act together.

When I am working, the station I listen to most often is Venice Classic Radio. I find that baroque music provides the best environment for concentration.
 
Sometimes they get a bit overblown, but most of their selections are very good.

Also, a lot of what Bach composed he did not write down. Much of it was improvised and sketches written that were frozen on paper by later interpreters. He was apparently a brilliant improviser.

This thread is turning into What WERE you listening to for me.
Yesterday was my wife's birthday (and Mica's- happy belated).
 
We went and saw the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra perform Beethoven's Fifth, truly a pleasure.  The show started with some modern composers (Sean Shepherd and Nico Muhly).  But the cherry on top was that prior to going into Beethoven's brilliance, they played a short song by Morton Feldman.  
 
As soon as the song started my wife bolted upright and sat on the edge of her seat;  the song was the same song that is the intro to a local radio show (WMSE's The Modern Chamber) and she always swoons when she hears it.
So there it was, the perfect birthday gift, surprisingly provided by an unexpected source.
 
And here it is: Madame Press Died Last Week at Ninety

I just discovered Sister Rosetta Tharpe.  First woman rock 'n roller?  How is it possible that I never heard of her previously?
