I just bought a hi-res FLAC of this and started with the 11th--wow! It might not be quite as scalding as Mravinsky's, in which the Leningrad Phil plays as if their lives depended on it (perhaps they did...), but it is plenty intense on its own. Superb sound, and man, those bass drum eruptions will give your woofers a workout!

Beethoven: Diabelli Variations
John O’Conor, piano Steinway & Sons (2015) This is a very nice recording. O’Conor gets it right, and the Steinway sound is very good.

During this day, while doing some stuff, and then reading in the garden in the sun, and then cooking, and then cleaning the kitchen, I listened again to this box (all 6 CDs):
It's not Mozart or Schubert, but it's nice music, and absolutely not intrusive when you have to concentrate on other things. Sound is decent (even through my Dali Katch, and now even more of course through our living room system).

Alfred Schnittke - Péteris Vasks - Arvo Pärt - The Invisible Link
Maya Fridman & Daniël Kool trptk label I'm stunned by the recording quality of this label. The owner was here yesterday in my home to further fine-tune our system and gave us a couple of albums. Pärt's Fratres never sounded better in our living room. Astonishing performance, breathtakingly captured. I'm very curious about their DXD surround downloads.
