Santana - "Santana" 200 g reissue
Emerson Lake and Palmer - "Emerson Lake and Palmer"

Beethoven - "Piano Concerto No. 4 in G Major" Rudolph Serkin/Ozawa/BSO
slipknot1
last night, cliff richard-i'm nearly famous and the tarney-spenser band-two's a crowd
Sryro Gyra - Catching the Sun, love the dynamics of this band, and on vinyl hard to beat cranked
Rossini, 6 Sonate a Quattro, Salvatore Accardo and others, Philips 4759648 (2LPs) (This limited edition reissue is one of the most realistic recordings of a string quartet in my collection. Yes, it's expensive. But the performances are superb and the recording quality and mastering are simply outstanding. If you enjoy chamber music, this exceptional 2LP set will rock you back on your heels.)

Wagner, Tristan und Isolde, Bohm/Bayreuthe, Nilsson, Windgassen, Ludwig, DGG 2713 001 (a glorious cast in this exceptional performance from 1966)

Durufle, Suite, op5 - Torvald Toren at the Hedvig Eleonora Church Organ, Stockholm - Proprius 7854

Torvald Toren is an excellent organist playing on a beautiful organ built and voiced in the French "neo-classical" style, a superb organ for the music of Maurice Durufle. When the 32' Bourdon pipes are called upon in this beautifully recorded LP, you absolutely know it and feel it. (For people who tell me vinyl just can't reproduce bass as well as CDs, this is the LP I'm most likely to pull out to play for them.) This LP and it's sequel (Proprius 7855) contain four of Durufle's great organ works in marvelous sound. Highest recommendation if you love large scale French organ music and can find it.
