Call me crazy, but i prefer Faure's Nocturnes to Chopins.

My favorite is Goldberg Variations. Nothing else comes even close.

Beethoven's Emperor Concerto played by Michelangeli. An old live recording with a flaw (loud clarinet), but the performance is nothing short of spectacular.

2nd Bach's Goldberg Variations, although the Well Tempered Clavier book 1 edges it out sometimes.

WTC...food for the soul. After listening exclusively to Gould and Tureck I recently got Hewitt's recording. I have to say I'm mighty impressed with it.

So what's a clarinet doing in the recording?
