Yeesh.

  • J. S. Bach, 48 Preludes and Fugues aka Das Wohltemperierte Clavier. I like the Jandó recording on Naxos for the piano, and I'm a fan of Esafani on the harpsichord. This is thinking music.

  • Wagner, Der Ring Des Nibelungen. All of it, obviously, if I need to program for sixteen hours straight. I notice a lot of metal fans here so I highly recommend Siegfried.

  • Telemann, 12 Fantasias for Solo Flute. I like the recordings by Frans Brüggen.

  • Donnacha Dennehy, Tessellatum, a piece for viola, gamba and electronics. It's mad, you should listen to it.

  • Bop. A lot of bop. Bird and Diz stuff from New York. The Dial recordings would be a good bet.

  • The Passion of Reason by Dutch recorder trio Sour Cream. This is an odd album that goes from the late medieval to the Baroque, but really draws out the mad experiments with rhythm and pitch that went on. Oh and mixes it with bird song because why not.

That'll do.
