Brian, streaming Bartók. Romanian Folk Dances. The string orchestral version, and the piano and violin version. Both sublime. On a similar note, you might enjoy this. https://youtu.be/IPYHy8k9Z34
Brian, Bartók, to me, is amazing, and one of my favorite composers. Have a lot of recordings of his works, and keep adding more. He goes from traditional and folk influenced to very modern, and sometimes all mixed together in a very unique way.
Thanks for the link, I will check it out.

@edcyn
I really like Mehta. He has his own style; energetic, powerful, and expressive. There are some composer’s works where I may prefer another approach, but when in the mood, I enjoy Zubin’s take on a work, most all the time. And one of my favorite conductors to listen to.
The Tchaikovsky’s 6th is a great example. I may prefer a couple of others, but really enjoy Mehta’s approach at times.

Brian, what's the Natalie Merchant album like?
Brian, I streamed it a couple times before purchasing. I like it, but it seemed a bit themeless with a few various styles the first time I listened all the way through vs her other releases. Interesting, that feeling has gone away the more I’ve listened.
The LP is really good, but, after the initial spin, it does sound different from the streaming files. Obviously. There are some things I like much better on the LP, but have to admit, the digital files also have some strengths.
Overall, I like it. It’s Natalie, and as you know, I’m a big fan.
