Well... I'm not letting it die! I may not post in it every week, but I do read it every week. So here's my list, as boring and mundane as it might be...
Good for you! I try to post when I have time and I always read through it.

My guilty pleasure is Italian Oboe Concertos, vol. 2, Anthony Camden, oboe, with Nicholas Ward and the City of London Sinfonia. Naxos 8.554772. The four composers, Salieri, Besozzi, Platti, and Rosetti are minor figures but still quite competent composers. The Salieri piece is particularly beautiful (he didn't really kill Mozart!) But Anthony Camden and the orchestra play these with great style and the sound is simply gorgeous. Very enjoyable.

Bach, Toccatas and Fugues, Helmut Walcha, organ. DG Privilege 427 191-2.

Dvorak, String Quartet No. 9, Op. 34; Terzetto, Op. 74. Vlach Qt. Naxos 8.554772.

Schumann, The Four Symphonies, Haitink, Concertgebouw Orchestra, Amsterdam. Philips 416 126-2.

The Rankin Family, Fare Thee Well Love. EMI C2 99996.

The Famous Sound of Three Blind Mice, vo. 3, TBM CD 9003. Three Blind Mice is the record label, audiophile recordings of jazz music by Japanese artists. Various groups are represented. TBM is known for its sound quality.

Diana Krall, The Look of Love.

We also got some CDs from the local library:

Honegger, Symphony No. 2, Concerto da camera, Prelude, Arioso & Fughetta. Turovsky, I Musici de Montreal. Chandos 8632.

Charles Ives, Symphony No. 2, Robert Browning Overture. Schermerhorn, Nashville Symphony Orchestra. Naxos 8.8.559076. The Overture is tough going but the symphony is more approachable. Excellent recording quality.

Ella Fitzgerald, The Jerome Kern Songbook. Verve 825 669-2.

Patricia Barber, Verse.
