Asciugate i begli occhi - Gesualdo - Consort of Musicke, Anthony Rooley
Each statement of a poetic line possesses its own through-composed harmonic trajectory. Each breath and line break a unique response
Konzert in D Major BWV 1050 - J.S. Bach - Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, Herbert von Karajan

For JSB ongoingness is a given, for CPEB it is a choice often unmade: backgoingness and restepping are close to being the norm.
Keyboard Sonata in F Major Hob. XVI.9 - Haydn - Christine Schornsheim
Anchored in the sensibility of the rational.
Concerto in F Major (#7) K 2424 - Mozart - English Baroque Soloists, John Eliot Gardiner, Malcolm Bilson, Robert Levin, Melvyn Tan
This triple concerto is quite charming but a bit unwieldy, even for Mozart.
Sonata in E-flat Major Op. 27 #1 - Beethoven - Wilhelm Kempff
Sinking into the stability implied by repetition, the variations eventually destabilize the whole. Music thirsting for its own destruction.

Allegro in B minor op. 8 - Schumann - Peter Frankl
A balloon fixed to an anchor, whipped by a typhoon.
Fancy, within strict bounds.
Reminiscences de Don Juan - Liszt - Jorge Bolet
This could be an episode from Dante: we chat with Don Juan in hell, defiant past the last.
