Your Go to CD to Impress


Friends come over and inquire why you would spend so much money on a stereo system, what is the CD you load up? For me,

Patricia Barber  ---Café Blue

Dead Can Dance-Into the Labyrinth

tpreaves,

Many times you can't educate unless you impress, like football Xs and Os mean little if you can't score a TD, just a thought, your CD of choice my friend?

Bonnie Raitt Nick of time
Chicago Transit Authority/ first album
Bethoveen 9 th/Von Karajan/Berlin Philharmonic orchestra 
Dead Can Dance "Within the Realm of a Dying Sun", but recently (well, since Lisa Gerrard moved into "mainstream" thanks to Gladiator movie) it is "Khmer" by Nils Petter Molvaer. 
Dvorak, "Symphony No. 9" (the "New World Symphony"), Jascha Horenstein conducting the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Chesky CD31.  Recorded in 1962!

Chopin, "Piano Sonata No. 3, Opus 58," Hyperion Knight, pianist, Wilson Audio WCD-9129.

Both are out of print but probably findable.

Regards,
