Noumenal does too. Moving on, he recently got some new recordings and would like to share.
1. Mahler 6 with MTT and the San Francisco Symphony. Yay. All the cool kids listen to Mahler.
2. A bunch of new Schnittke: 3rd SQ, 3rd Symphony, Cello Concerto 1, Cello Sonata 1.
3. Ives - Symphony No.2 & Robert Browning Overture - I've wanted this recording for a long time because it's the Nashville Symphony and I was in the audience at the performance that's on the CD.
4. Xenakis - Dox Orkh (this means Kick-Ass) and Kraanerg
5. Ligeti - 1st Book of Piano Etudes
6. Gubaidulina - Introitus (Piano Concerto) and Offertorium (Violin Concerto)

Schnittke doesn't get enough of a mention, methinks. I've got three CDs of his stuff, and they're all glorious. I got a Xenakis percussion CD recently, he's really rather good at composing for percussion.
Today I got Heifetz's rendition of Bach's sonatas & partitas for solo violin... it's making me quite woozy. Utterly magnificent.
