I've been meaning to look into Keating because of that vid.

Have you listened to the New World Symphony? I grew up on Romantics, so I'm biased in their favor, but the New World is pretty amazing no matter what.

(psst, there's a download link for a medium-quality recording of that entire Mendelssohn concerto attached to my rentboy!fic from a while back, if you want to hear the whole thing. It's magnificent; god I love that piece.)
