What music are you listening to right now? (Warning: Lotsa videos)

I got a collection of Bach's vocal music on heavy discount. Decent singers, not like the usual you get with the cheap classical discs. I am kind of torn; I love Bach, but am not so fond of choral music.
 
Selections from Erich Wolfgang Korngold's score for The Sea Hawk, with Charles Gerhardt conducting the National Philharmonic Orchestra.
 
Rachmaninoff's Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini, with Dmitri Alexeev as pianist and Yuri Temirkanov conducting the St. Petersburg Philharmonic Orchestra.
 
Brahms' Violin Concerto in D, with Anne-Sophie Mutter as violinist and the Berlin Philharmonic conducted by Herbert von Karajan.
 


Then I somehow got reminded of the song "Breakout" by Swingout Sister, but I thought it was by Basia. Anyway, Basia is kind of dated now, but in the right mood well worth listening to.
 
This from about 2:15 to 3:00 has a feel that Gershwin must have listened to it before Rhapsody in Blue:
