[britneedadvice]

 
Outstanding Virtuoso Violins, Piano, Voices :
 
Anne-Sophie Mutter playing Sarasate: Carmen Fantasy
 
Gene Harris playing the Steinway Grand Piano on: Listen Here!    Superb Jazz
 
Joshua Bell playing his Strad. Violin : Mendelssohn: Violin Concerto in E Minor Op. 64
                                   and/or
playing Corigliano: Chaconne for Violin & Orchestra "The Red Violin"
 
 
Julia Fischer playing Sarasate: Spanische Tanze, Op 26 - Vito 
 
Martha Argerich playing Concerto for 2 Pianos and Orchestra in D minor 
 
Montseraat Caballe and her daughter :  Two Voices, One Heart
 
 
Almost anything by the 5 Browns playing their Stienway Grand Pianos 
 
Plus something with plenty of well recorded Cymbals, I don't yet have anything in this area.  
 
Reference Recordings ( K.Johnson)  Berlioz Symphony Fantastique ,  March to the Scaffolds in particular. 
 
These are breath taking recordings that will stretch any System to it's limits and beyond, all are exemplary live performances that defy accurate electronic replications.
 
These violins mentioned above are all "tight" mic'ed capturing the near infinite detail of the famous Strads these Artists are performing with. 
Sennheiser discovered a method to "mic" and record the intricate harmonics of the Steinway Grands, the above recordings feature this technique.  
 
Tony in Michigan
 
ps.  Lang Lang playing Beethoven, Rachmaninov,Tchaikovsky,Mendelssohn all MUST be included.  Lang Lang is now imerging as our Finest Piano Virtuoso, his subtlety and phraising raise him above ecstasy levels expected from our formost performers, 5 Stars !   

 
hmmm............nice selection...!!  Anything from the Anne-Sophie  CD  Massenet ?
I could add loads of similar stuff but surely the greatest living 'Classical' Composer has to have a place... Morricone ??  anything , but The Mission soundtrack is beautiful.What about Perlman on the Schindlers' List Soundtrack? Tell me this doesn't bring a tear to the eye?? Masters at work!!
