| Your Favorite, Most Outstanding Guitar Solo Terje Rypdal's short electric guitar part in the very atmospheric piece "Mirage" sounds unsurpassable to me. You will find it on the Terje Rypdal / David Darling (cello and electric cello) album "Eos", released by ECM as an LP and CD. Rypdal's qui... | |
| Qawwali ....Nasrut Fateh Ali Khan Bahauddin Qutbuddin Qawwal and Party played one of the most energetic concerts I ever witnessed, at the Hessischer Rundfunk Sendesaal in Frankfurt in the late 1990s or around 2000; pure, traditional Qawwali music from Pakistan. A handful of voices... | |
| Bass Clarinet Recordings The I-do-not-know-how-to-label-that-style jazz clarinetist Gianluigi Trovesi sometimes plays the bass clarinet to stunning effect. And on a few of his albums, the great Klezmer/traditional/tango/classical clarinetist, maestro Giora Feidman uses it... | |
| Freak Me Out Sun Ra's live "Concert for the comet Kohoutek" from the 1970s will shake your socks off if you can ignore the mediocre sound quality. The "Journey through the outer darkness" is the most spaced-out, totally free yet precisely executed synthesizer ... | |

Poetic and humane.Jaki Liebezeit's impeccable timing an... | |
| Organ CDs with really deep bass The pipe organ sampler CD "King of instruments: A listener's guide to the art and science of recording the organ" contains several artitistically and sonically spectacular performances, e.g. that of Maurice Duruflé's Scherzo op. 2 played by Todd W... | |
| What is the one CD you can't find? "Interpretenportrait - Roland Proell", label Polyhymnia or Polyphonia or something like that, released in the late 1980s/ early 1990s. It contains Schumann's C major piano fantasy and the most convincing recording of Ravel's "Miroirs" among the tw... | |
| Most achingly-beautiful music 1) Maurice Ravel's "Daphnis and Chloé", especially the second set (lever du jour/ pantomime/ danse générale) takes longing, yearning, tension and release to an extreme. Choose a recording where they did not leave out the choir! The Furtwaengler re... |
