A few other threads have prompted me to start this one...
I'm wanting performances where the artist seems to transcend him/herself and tap into something/someone greater than themselves to create an almost mystical experience...almost channeling something else or someone else with Music flowing out of them almost without their ability to resist it. I"m talking about more than just virtuosity here...but soul. Usually it's somewhat spontaneous...so perhaps live performances more likely...but also a few studio recordings. Few artists that I know have done this.... I would say probably Coltrane on "A love supreme" and maybe Miles Davis. Some would say Hendrix did it on occaision. As for women...help me here.. Who are some others? What are the albums? Irrespective of genre.
Dinu Lipatti: Besancon Recital-- recorded in 1950. Profound wisdom from one of the most sensitive and honest pianists of all time. Everything he plays is pure magic. He died shortly after from a long and painful illness. Nothing compares.
Ingwie Malmsteen - Concerto Suite in E minor. With New Japan Phylarmonic. This is a great and unique thing. Normally, I don't listen to classical music.
