and,
Beethoven - "Piano Concerto No. 4 in G Major" Rudolph Serkin/Ozawa/BSO
slipknot1
Nima Ben David
Résonance

This is a wonderful and beautiful sounding recording of ancient music played on solo Viola da Gamba, by one of that rare instrument’s few true virtuosos.  
Was kind of a splurge for me.

Bach
The Goldberg Variations (1982)
Glen Gould

"It is, in short, music which observes neither end nor beginning, music with neither real climax nor real resolution, music which, like Baudelaire’s lovers, 'rests lightly on the wings of the unchecked wind.' It has, then, unity through intuitive perception, unity born of craft and scrutiny, mellowed by mastery achieved, and revealed to us here, as so rarely in art, in the vision of subconscious design exulting upon a pinnacle of potency."

- Glen Gould, from the liner notes on his 1955 debut Version of the same
