Any good musical albums lately?

Yes!

Patricia Kopatchinskaja and the Orchestre des Champs Elysees playing Beethoven (naive label V5174). It is played on period instruments, recorded extremely well and played beautifully. There is a very good sense of space and decaying acoustic giving a real sense of location. Close you eyes and you are there - sort of.

There are a couple of places where the solo violin sounds as if it is receding backwards and then forwards again - either because the engineer is altering the recording level or perhaps she turned away from the microphone. Apart from that - glorious :) as long as you don't mind a few deviations from the original score.
