Welcome to the world of Prokofiev!
 
Those violin concerti are extraordinary.
 
Next, check out the piano concerti, 1st and 5th Symphonies, the ballets Cinderalla (TOPS) and Romeo and Juliet (maybe the greatest).  There's more but that's enough for now.

 
 
You will enjoy the journey.

 

Sadly the only store in my city that has a classical section worth calling such doesn't apart from a couple CDs really have any Prokofiev. They even recently moved to smaller business premises and cut their classical selection practically in half, which is a bummer. I'll have to try doing some research at some point and order something online I guess. I really liked at least the three violin works on the Janine Jansen album. They didn't suffer from problems I often have with pre-20th century classical nor the issues I sometimes have with more modern classical compositions.

Now listening to this.
 

Cult of Luna - Vertikal II

 

[Hi-Finthen]

Led Zeppelin IV
[1971]
 

 
Out of eight cuts, there isn't one that steps on another's toes, that tries to do too much all at once. There are Olde Englishe ballads ("The Battle of Evermore" with a lovely performance by Sandy Denny), a kind of pseudo-blues just to keep in touch ("Four Sticks"), a pair of authentic Zeppelinania ("Black Dog" and "Misty Mountain Hop"), some stuff that I might actually call shy and poetic if it didn't carry itself off so well ("Stairway to Heaven" and "Going To California") ...
... and a couple of songs that when all is said and done, will probably be right up there in the gold-starred hierarchy of put 'em on and play 'em again. The first, coyly titled "Rock And Roll," is the Zeppelin's slightly-late attempt at tribute to the mother of us all, but here it's definitely a case of better late than never. This sonuvabitch moves, with Plant musing vocally on how "It's been a long, lonely lonely time" since last he rock & rolled, the rhythm section soaring underneath. Page strides up to take a nice lead during the break, one of the all-too-few times he flashes his guitar prowess during the record, and its note-for-note simplicity says a lot for the ways in which he's come of age over the past couple of years.
The end of the album is saved for "When The Levee Breaks," strangely credited to all the members of the band plus Memphis Minnie, and it's a dazzler. Basing themselves around one honey of a chord progression, the group constructs an air of tunnel-long depth, full of stunning resolves and a majesty that sets up as a perfect climax.

I just picked this up:

ripped it in ALAC and am giving it a first listen right now.
 
EDIT: It is quite good, and the new drummer is damn good.

I've always immensely enjoyed the combination of modern classical followed by black metal or vice versa.

An enjoyable juxtaposition to be sure

 
Side note on the Mastodon play through - their sound signature DESTROYS (in a good way!) in these D5ks!
