What Classical Music are you listening to?

My response to Liszt's Transcendental Etudes is quite typical of my response to this composer lately: I really like the music overall, but there's also quite a bit of frustration as I listen through them. Many of them have truly jaw-dropping and wonderful sections, but -even in my favourites- there's also a fair bit that strikes me as either lazy composition or flat out misjudgements.

Flawed, but highly enjoyable and extremely inventive for their time.

I listened to Trifonov's recording today and he's certainly among the best I've heard. There's no complete video on youtube, so here are my favourites from the set:
