There are a few threads on this already. But I think it would be nice to condense it into one thread. So just post your favorite recording of whatever piece. Be it Bach or Ives, post it, write a bit about why it's your favorite.
I'm currently obsessing a bit over this one

ABM is just such a cool guy first off. But his technique is impeccable and the way he bares it all in this performance is outstanding. He takes many liberties but they work! He was a competitive skier also. Who knew? Haha

So favorite recordings!

Just here to lurk and cringe at my old posts now.

I currently don't have access to YouTube; but when you get a chance, YouTube Alfred Cortot's recording of Nocturne in E-flat, op. 9, no. 2. I love listening to an artist interpret a well-known piece of music in such a way that it sounds as fresh as if it were spontaneously conceived. Every note seems to live and breathe in his playing of this piece. I hope you get to hear it!

I've recently fallen in love with this brilliant Bach interpretation - Prelude and Fugue G Major BWV 884 played by Wolfgang Manz. What do y'all think of it?
