And now, next up are a few songs from Duran Duran:
Ordinary World, Come Undone, Thank You, Planet Earth, and Sin Trade.
A piece in yesterday's edition of the Guardian reminded me to disinter, dig out, and listen to, some of the really good songs from Duran Duran.

Mozart's Piano Sonata No. 17, which I'm currently in the process of learning (just for my own pleasure, not for a lesson or anything). Maybe I'll perform it, who knows.
Got some Bartok now, it's very different to what I've mostly been listening to in classical of recent, but I love it. Frenetic, and at times like both classical music and a score to some scary movie! Actually I think it's pretty awesome. I have heard it before, and it's one of few I've marked five stars so I can remember it.
Finally returned to the "mainstream" and listened to Bach's Mass in B Minor again - after spending a long time focused exclusively on his four other lesser-known masses.
I have two recordings, both by Collegium Vocale conducted by Philippe Herreweghe. Both are really amazing performances. One is arguably a better performance, but the recording is actually kind of awful - it's clipping in some places! The other version is, I don't think as good (I mean, still great overall, but in comparison to the other one), but an actually good-quality recording.

I've done a couple DD tunes with different bands, Ordinary World and Rio. Great fun when you're the keyboardist.
Brilliant.
Now, I am currently listening to another classic from the vaults of mind, myth and memory.
Tubular Bells - the entire album - by Mike Oldfield.
Currently listening to Freedom Jazz Dance off the album "Hot Hands." I'd recommend everyone listen to the entire album!
Pat Metheny - Song for Bilbao. Haven't listened to much of his stuff lately. I was big into him in high school, nice to revisit all of it!
Listening to Charles Ives - "Three Places in New England." WOW!! That's all I can say. I love it!
Alright, here's a list of all my favorite versions of Freedom Jazz Dance:
The original, from Eddie Harris "The In Sound":
Miroslav Vitous:
Solo bass version (he teaches at my university, incidentally):
Latin version:
Lonnie Smith:

Been trying to learn this for almost 6 months now. Music looks easy, but it is NOT EASY, trust me. This recording has several mistakes and is MIDI-generated, but the best one I could find that shows the score.
Currently listening to some 70s pop - Earth, Wind, and Fire, Atlanta Rhythm Section, Gary Wright, etc.
Thank you for sharing this, I found it on Spotify! I love it, too!
I seriously don't understand anyone who says this is "meaningless" and "just a bunch of random notes."
