Best musician in the world?

Talk about resurrecting an old thread!  23 years! That must be a record!

While Galbraith is/was excellent, I would currently vote for Jordi Savall: performing and conducting music from all over the world composed over a period of thousands of years at such a high level.

Boxcar Willie!  But on a more serious note, how many different instruments are there?  To pick one musician that is the “Best” ever. That’s a task that’s well beyond my listening experience.  Now if you to say who is your FAVORITE musician,that’s a different story.  I listen to a large variety of music,and I’m even having a hard time picking one favorite.  @drbond ,I agree, 23 years must be some sort of record! 

For those into electric guitar, check out Matteo Mancuso.....

Silliest question in the world.
