Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach is the perfect embodiment of the rebellious son. His keyboard sonatas sparkle with the brilliant counterpoint learned from his father Johann Sebastian but are punctuated with passages that are decidedly his own; sudden changes of mood take flight with whimsical melodies that throw us into the Classical era. This is particularly apparent in the opening movement of the F sharp minor sonata, thrillingly played by Danny Driver, whose vivid handling of the later C minor and A major examples illustrates just how far CPE had moved away from his father. As if to underline the point, Driver adds the thoroughly Mozartian Fantasie in F sharp minor and Rondo in D minor. Immensely rewarding listening.

Jazz album haven't played in a few years. From the Mapleshade Records label.
Streaming | FLAC rip
I keep occasionally trying to "get into" Doves but, they just don't do it for me.
Nils Petter Molvær again: "NP3". The track called "Marrow" is particularly good, very groovy and forceful. I'm not into moving about on the dance floor but I can imagine this would fit the purpose.
Vinyl.
Wilco Johnson & Roger Daltrey - Going Back Home
What a fantastic, simple and highly enjoyable cd.
All the better played through Naim system 
"ER" by Nils Petter Molvær.
The Division Bell 20th Deluxe Box set
Ludwig van Beethoven: The 5 Sonatas for Piano and Cello - DuoLeonore
Hibla Herzmava (soprano), Arsen Sogomonian (baritone), Vladimir Spivakov, National Philharmonic Orchestra of Russia, Vladimir Spivakov

My listening tonight is perhaps a bit more pedestrian:
On vinyl.

Agree the earlier album is for me also the preferred one
