Chesky recording recommendation, please


Hi everyone. I'm soliciting suggestions for Chesky recordings...specifically compilation CDs. Any genre.

Thanks in advance.

Yes: the artists matter a lot. Last night I dug through my CDs (which have seen little use since I went to high res) and pulled out a 1982 Decca recording of the Tchaikovsky violin concerto, performed by Kyung Wha Chung, a young (then) woman from Korea. We have heard a lot lately about Hilary Hahn, and I have several of her recordings. However, to my ear, this performance by Kyung Wha Chung takes technical skill and artistic interpretation to a higher level. Sometimes lesser known performers may excel.
