Best sonics/music on CD

What are your three best CD's where you would rate the sonics and music a 10?.

1. Michel Camilo: Triangulo, Label Telarc (Jazz)

2. Leopold Stokowski: Rhapsodies, Label Living Stereo (classical)

3. Antonio Vivaldi: La Straganza - Rachel Podger: Arte Dei Suonatori, Label Channel Classics (classical)

All three of these CD's are hard to pull away from and I never tire listening to them.

Steven Bernstein - "Diaspora Soul"/"Diaspora Hollywood"/"Diaspora Blues"
Wayne Horvitz - "Sweeter Than The Day"
Bar Kokhba Sextet - John Zorn 50th B'day Celebration Live

...and I'll have to throw in a 4th: Tool - "10,000 Days"

You're quite welcome, Glory. Funny, I listened to "Sweeter Than the Day" twice today, and am certain that anyone in this community would be thrilled with that recording.

Another one that is highly accessible, and absolutely stunning, is Anouar Brahem - "Le Pas du Chat Noir"

Howard, are you saying "Sweeter than the Day" is like Le Pas? If so, I'll be looking for it.
Musically, the Horvitz stuff is a bit more structured. But I think it would have appeal to virtually anyone who likes jazz at any level. Wayne Horvitz made a studio album with this same title, as well as this live recording. Both are very good, but I especially like the live one. It is on Kufala records, which are marketed as 'authorized bootlegs'.

One of the most unique recordings I've ever heard, one I find highly addictive, is Pierre Yves Mace - "Faux Jumeaux". Marco, I think this would be one of your favorites.
