Wow.
Link to videoIf you didn't know it was Joni Mitchell, you'd never guess.
I always preferred her version to the saccharine Judy Collins version. I also prefer this recording to Collins'.

A wonderful recording of, probably my favorite of Sibelius' symphonies.
The second movement is just wonderful. Go to about 4:30 and listen to how well he brings out the pizzicato of the strings as counterpoint to the main melody.
I've said this is the perfect "Winter Symphony," even more than the Tchaikovsky 4th.

Now I'm hearing Foster The People with Sit Next To Me.

@george-k I love the Sibelius symphonies. My favorite set is the one of all the symphonies played by the Boston Symphony conducted by Colin Davis. At the time of these recordings my cousin was playing in the viola section. He told me the orchestra members all liked and respected Colin Davis.

The Weeknd with Save Your Tears.

RN listening to way to much Taylor Swift. Daughter #3 almost always commandeering the car stereo on our trips.
I did help her purchase a nice entry level turntable and speakers though, which was kind of fun. And bought her Rumors and Revolver as Christmas presents for her growing collection of vinyl.

Lady Gaga with Poker Face.

On your recommendation, I listened to #1, #2 and #5 today.
I found #1 just a bit too "contrast-ey" for my taste. Davis's pauses seemed to interrupt the flow of the music.
I'll continue this week.

My oldest is a huge Taylor Swift fan. Some would say a little to much but she is just like that when she is into something. Think me, only exponentially worse. lol
Nobody, and I mean nobody commandeers the stereo, except for me, when I am in the car. And I have 3 daughters. lol
