| This almost went in the too hard basket! but here goes...
in no particular order:
Kind of Blue - Miles
because for me it captures the very essence of jazz
Rite of Spring - boulez with cleveland orchestra
because the combination of precision and musicianship astounds me every time i here it
Corelli violin sonatas - the locatelli trio
because it is THE most musical recording i have ever heard, and stirs my sould at every listening. everything is right in the world after listening to this disc.
Maurice Andre - the trumpet shall sound
for the sound of angels!
haydn string quartets - not sure which quartet, maybe emerson
i would love the time on a desert island to truly work out, and thoroughly understand these gems of composition.
radiohead - hail to the theif
because it is all 'pop' music can be and more
berg violin concerto - isaac stern w. berstien and the NY phil.
for the feeling of peace i get as the clarinets quote bach, and for the masterful interpretation of mr. stern.
big band - count basie band (the album with the black cover)
coz sometimes you just have to swing!
a book: i would probably spend most time with the shakespeare, but would like to use the time on an island to try and get my head around james joyce - ulysees
a luxury: my trumpet
Great topic EC!!
