Mining classical music gold.

I too am a major fan of the Milstein, of recent violinists Hilary Hahn is impressive.

For me Heifetz is the God for music of the Romantic era.  As someone said "he doesn't just play the notes".  He also said that the major reason he plays modern composers is that it makes him realize how truly great Beethoven was.

After seeing the incredible array of cello suite offerings on Presto I had to sample a bunch, many of the artists unknown to me.  I decided on one movement to sample, the Prelude of the 6th.  There were some truly dreadful plodding offerings but Tatjana Vassiljeva found something very special - I felt my foot tapping, her approach seems to recognize that the suites originate as dances.  Her playing is almost spiccato in the opening bars; that prelude raised the hairs on the back of my neck and some passages brought tears to my eyes.  It is playing for sheer, transcendent JOY!  I'll be listening to the rest of her recording today, I have no idea how it will be but that one movement is amazing.

My wife is a very occasional listener to classical music and came over to say "That is wonderful".

The album is available on Qobuz, or you can sample on Spotify here https://open.spotify.com/track/7j39emMdcRMTugzytInB7F

Don't say gold under this administration... 

I don't have all the composers you mentioned. One or two, maybe.

You have gotten me re-interested in my classical music collection by bringing up some real gems, thank you rvpiano!

Since we’re generally off the main topic here, I’d like to recommend a string quartet I discovered on IDAGIO : Quator Arod.  Incredible rendering of the Haydn Op.  76  String Quartets and Debussy Quartet. 
Interestingly, the recorded sound on IDAGIO in standard resolution is better than hi res file on Qobuz.

My favorite Version on Tacet  (Tubes only recording ) of Haydn quatuors: 

The sound is gorgeous and the interpretation is top notch...

I am not alone thinking this way about them :

I agree with the suggestions on the Bach solo violin.  I also would add Christian Tetzlaff.

Still on Bach, there is the great Mass in B Minor.

There is the great version with Karl Richter and the Munich Bach Choir, and Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau at the peak of his career.

However, I really line the Pygmalion with Raphael Pichon.  Fischer-Dieskau, but really great choir works.
