Hmm

Bach - Chaconne fr Violin Partida # 2 as Played on Guitar by Andres Segovia. Taste, restraint, perfect technique. Segovia stretches the notes in a way that no one else dares.

Mozart - "Martin aller Arten" from Die Entfuhrung aus dem Serail as played on Trumpet by Maurice Andre - Every soprano who ever attempts this should be required to hear what Andre wrests from this , absolutely simple, perfect. Perfect phrasing, perfect intonation, perfect control, perfect balance. Perfect

Diana Krall singing "Garden in the Rain" from "Love Scenes"
