3. Keith Jarret, Live at the Blue Note(ECM/HD Tracks)

I actually think that maybe the new Sound Liaison album from Andre Heuvelman, After Silence also could be no.1 or 2,but one album per label is maybe enough.

What is your top 3 ?

Great new Bach recording on the Sound Liaison label.
Very very impressive sound stage, and the ensemble plays with a drive seldom heard in the classical field. Highly recommended.

"International elite on the West Side of Copenhagen. Enghave church has been programming concerts with the most prolific musicians specialised in Baroque music ….unsurpassable level of performance!"
Søren Schauser, music editor at the danish newspaper "Berlingske Tidende"

"Full house and baroque music played with fire on the West Side."
Danish newspaper Jyllands Posten

These musicians play straight from the heart, enthusiastic, swinging and in complete agreement with the music.....if this level can be kept on future releases I will be first in line….
...This is a conductor on mission with Bach’s music!......
Review by Bach expert Knud Svendsen in danish organ society magazine

Plenteous expertise from the ensemble but you'd have to pick out Jesenka Balic Zunic's tender playing on the Violoncello da Spalla, Jakob Bloch Jespersen in ideal repertoire for him, and the striking freshness and fluency of Anna Jobrant's soprano solos. It was free, and full.
Andrew Mellor, reviewer for Gramophone magazine

I concur, it is a gorgeous production and every instrument is so well placed and realized.
the sound and the playing reminds me  a bit of the Dunedin consort recordings from Linn. Highly recommended as well. http://www.linnrecords.com/Index.aspx
