On any given day, my list will change. Woe is me, there is too much good music! Here is today's list.

1.Bach, Liebster Gott, wenn will ich sterben? The recent Suzuki/Bis release has A+ sonics and B+ performance (Herrewehge on Harmonia Mundi is even more touching, but dated sonics) As you listen, think about the joyful, eager anticipation with which death was anticipated at that time.
2/Schutz - Die Sieben Worte Jesu Christi am Kretz,( Suzuki/Bis is a good bet, the older John Elliot Gardner is better, but dated sonics again.
3. Beethoven, symphony 7, 2nd movement- Live performance by Mario Venzago and Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra, June 2003- This was the most beautiful performance of any music, live or recorded, I have ever heard. Wow! I was stunned, and fighting back the tears. Telarc needs to come to Indy and see what's happening here!
