Great choice. How about listing other titles on your desert island list? Would love to see it!

Compiling a list like that out of my very haphazardly (dis)organized collection of (roughly 7,000) CD's is a daunting prospect not to mention it takes time away from the all important task of listening to them and searching for new ones.

But certainly, as the most indispensable of my recordings make their way before my consciousness from time to time, I'll definitely post them here even if they're not in my current listening pile.

Or it may be preferable to start a new thread where we can all list the "desert island discs" of our collections.

And as I write, this disc comes to mind as in that category:

My favorite Handel opera recording of the many I own.

Daunting for some, impossible for me. I doubt I'd get beyond the Baroque era. Please do mention the DI discs as you think of them.

Ka-ching! That's high praise indeed for that Handel. Just ordered it. Thank you.

Nice DSD transfer of Dvorak's Cello concerto performed by Pierre Fournier & conducted by George Szell. I have a ton of recordings, but I think this one is my favorite. Incredible passion.

Respighi Pines of Rome on Decca with Maazel on nm vinyl. This is the one to look for. Far better sound than the much ballyhooed Reiner RCA.
