Last listened: part of the last night of the Proms from the Royal Albert Hall in London, carried live by the local classical music station. Hope I can hear it in person some day...

Doom and gloom here, Last.fm server is down for maintenance until 3pm so it's been very quiet here so far today.
Bach, Passacaglia and Fugue in C minor, BWV 582, one of my favourite Bach works.
Opening Night of The Met on Metropolitan Opera Radio, TOSCA the full opera
Tosca is one opera I never want to hear again. I've been listening to a Bruckner symphony (not quite as tedious as Tosca, but close).
By the way - it doesn't really matter which Bruckner symphony because, like the Vivaldi Concerti, they are all pretty much identical in structure and sound.
(tongue slightly in cheek)
I'm not an atheist and I don't think I can call myself a pantheist. We are in the position of a little child entering a huge library filled with books in many different languages. The child knows someone must have written those books. It does not know how. The child dimly suspects a mysterious order in the arrangement of the books but doesn't know what it is. That, it seems to me, is the attitude of even the most intelligent human being toward God.
