Brandenburg Concertos *** Favorite *** Bach, J.S. St. John Passion Bach, J.S. St. Matthew Passion Basie, Count Greatest Hits Beethoven, L. van Symphony #3 Beethoven, L. van Symphony #9 Beethoven, L. van Violin Concerto Beethoven, L. van Piano Concerto #1 Beethoven, L. van Piano Concerto #2 Gillespie, Dizzy Greatest Hits Handel, G.F.

Symphony #6 Weather Report Weather Report "Birdland" (haven't decided which one I like best yet) The only additional stipulation is that there be at least some Ella Fitzgerald on the Basie album. The Passions and Beethoven 9th must be sung in German. Authentic instrumentation for the Brandenburgs, too (i.e. harpsichords, recorders, transverse flutes, and violas da gamba, not pianos, modern flutes, and cellos). Isaac Stern for the Beethoven violin concerto. London Symphony preferred (except Munich Chamber Orchestra or Chamber Orchestra of the Saar for Brandenburgs and Mozart). ----------------------------------------------------------------- gopher://quux.org/ conversion by John Goerzen of http://communication.ucsd.edu/A-News/ This Usenet Oldnews Archive article may be copied and distributed freely, provided: 1.
