a little dinner music


I would love your help in selecting a few CD's that would play well in the background during a nice evening meal with friends. I am looking for music with limited dynamic range so that it can play with fairly uniform softness, generally upbeat in tone, and very beautiful.
Some I like are Japanese Melodies,Rampal flute on Denon. Distant Songs, Barry Gordon,piano on Telarc, Haydn 3 Piano Sonatas, Schriff on Denon, and I Ching Synphony, Steiner on Real Music.
Thanks

I often play classical or Spanish guitar for an evening dinner party. It's makes a nice unobtrusive background, and is also relaxing and stimulating at the same time. There have been at least two Spanish guitar threads in the not to distant past which provide some excellent selections. A new classical guitar release that I just happened upon at a favorite store is by Paul Galbraith - French Impressions (Debussy & Ravel) seems to meet your criteria well. Good luck.
