Its getting so tough to choose. I need more classical, more 80's, more Irish, more dance, more disco more..... there just aren't enough spaces...

And you need Dire Straits. [:)]

I do, but three into one doesn't go..... I'll listen to the three obvious choices tonight with a view to picking one tomorrow.....

Rachmaninov Piano Concerto no. 2 - Earl Wild
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gvoFncOsKjk
In 1965 Earl Wild recorded all five Rach concertos in five days on a tight budget for the Readers Digest. The results were surprisingly brilliant. Soloist, conductor, orchestra and sound engineers somehow produced some of the best recordings of these works in the catalogue.

Bach English suite no.2 Bourrée I/II - Gulda
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XAzPUt82Y_E
So many Bach keyboard pieces to choose from. This is a fairly new discovery of mine played by someone whose Bach I've long admired.

Sibelius symphony no 2 - Boston Symphony Orchestra/Colin Davis
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsBJ24Vg-dQ
Not such good sound quality by today's standards but still my favorite recording of this great symphony.

Desert Raven by Jonathan Wilson

A couple of things I''ve run across recently on Youtube and have played repeatedly. They were both posted nearly 10 years ago, but greatness is timeless.

Great duet by "Sharon den Adel from Within Temptation and the Gathering's Anneke van Giersbergen with The Metropole Orchestra and the Pa'dam Choir live at the Ahoy Arena in Rotterdam." Just beautiful.

And this. Rolling Stones. Gimme Shelter. The amazing female vocalist is Lisa Fischer.

Two albums by former Blur band member Graham Coxon have really impressed me.

Large dose of amazing, live, classic, progressive rock to celebrate it's 43 release anniversary: Genesis - Seconds Out. [&o][&o][&o]

My favorite live album of all time, just slightly ahead of Rush - All the World's a Stage.

Genesis - Dance on a Volcano-Los Endos (Seconds Out)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKYZ3OKUXqw
I agree with a previous poster about this album, certainly my favorite live album. In fact I like it so much that I'm going to spend one point to save it from the fire.

Tchaikovsky symphony no 6 - BPO/Karajan
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZHhkv5umMA
Very rich symphony. The first movement in particular is a roller coaster of emotions from the ecstatic high of the second subject love theme to the devastating low of the development section. I'm guessing that Tchaikovsky knew what it was to love and lose. This last movement feels like a portent of Tchaikovsky's own death which followed soon after finishing it.
Karajan recorded the 6th symphony seven times and this version is generally not much admired, but it's the one I have and I like it a lot.

Chopin Nocturne Op.48 No.1 - Arthur Rubinstein

It's Rubinstein playing Chopin - nuff said!

34/50

Okay, lets bring up the 30. The first of these is the winner of the Dire Straits competition (hopefully there will be room for a second but its looking unlikely). I like the lyrics and the guitar work on this excellent track.

No.29 Romeo and Juliet (Dire Straits)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lpzewBIox5o

The 30 is rounded about by this early eighties classic. Henley could have a second track in the 50 but for now there is only guaranteed room for one. An interesting track, part happy summer, part sad, but 100% brilliant - and love the guitar work.

No.30 The Boys of Summer (Don Henley)

The Blackwatch Pipes and Drums, what else?
