We all absorb a lot of music. Whether it's over the internets, radio, or computer, between a sitcom's laugh tracks or over the corner-store's tinny speakers, whistled by your younger sister or stuck in your head from a preferably forgotten concert, music is all around us. The following mix is comprised of tracks that have stuck out at me from this past week.

In his autobiography, Yehudi Menuhin referred to Enescu’s musicality as an ‘incandescence surpassing anything in my experience’, and described him as ‘the most extraordinary human being, the greatest musician and the most formative influence I have ever experienced’.

Twelve tracks including music by Adrian Iaies, Astillero, and Astor Piazzolla.

Eight tracks including music by Múm, Bukkene Bruse, and Keiichiro Shibuya.

A combination of Louise Farrenc, Schubert, Bruch, Mozart, Mahler, Liszt and Vivaldi.

Nine tracks including music by Mahler, Berlioz, Wagner and Smetana.

"And then is heard no more... It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing."

So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past. - F. Scott Fitzgerald
