Alan Stivell - Olympia Concert (Live in Paris 1972). An uplifting set comprising sensitively arranged traditional folk songs (Breton, Irish, Hebridean). Nothing showy here - just held back, felt musicianship of a folkrock flavour, heavy on the folk.

Radiohead - The King Of Limbs. Not listened to this one much before, if ever. The percussion was too 'trainlike with other environmental sound distractions', which I found to be an almost unbearable intrusion. I listened to Hail To The Thief straight afterwards and immediately reconnected - I prefer my Radiohead to be 'rock and/or quiet'.
Radiohead - Hail To The Thief. Thank God.

Beethoven / Bartók / Debussy / Bartók - "Kreutzer" Sonata No. 9 in A Major / Rhapsody No. 1 for Violin and Piano / Sonata for Violin and Piano / Second Sonata for Violin and Piano (Joseph Szigeti / Béla Bartók). Recorded at the Library of Congress, Washington D.C., April 1940, the same year composer/pianist Bartók emigrated from Hungary in protest at its Anschluss with Germany. The Jewish Szigeti had emigrated to the USA the year before, to escape persecution and the war. (Both musicians had acted in accordance with their anti-fascist stance throughout the '30s.)
