I really do enjoy it, maybe too much and that is why I can't sleep?

I knew most works already.
I'm a big Pärt fan.
The way he interweaves voices and instruments (in this case strings and not organ) is unique, utterly brilliant, very, very moving and easily recognisable as Pärt.

Haydn Cello Concertos.

Christophe Coin Cello

C. Hogwood conducting the Academy of Ancient Music.

I've heard it many times but I never really got this symphony until now. Magnificent performance and in superb 24/192 5.1 recording.
