I just finnished (sic) a big Sibelius Kick, listening mostly to the Symphonies (as recorded by Colin Davis) and the Tone Poems (conductor: Osmo Vanska):

I'm now listening to the Grieg/Schumann Piano Concertos (recorded by Stephen Bishop Kovacevich):

Next week, I'll start listening to the best of Debussy!
* Suite Bergamasque (Bartanan), part of a CD with works by other composers.
* Images/Etudes (Bavouzet)
* Preludes (Aimard)
* Orchestral Works (a recent reissue by various conductors, the best of which being Karajan)
* Pelleas and Melisande (Karajan)
Surprisingly, even in his most self-absorbed era, Herbert von Karajan can still put out some heavily acclaimed (if unconventional) sets of Debussy.
