Best of Chet Baker sings
Capitol Records

A world as unattainable as it is unique; a world in which I feel very comfortable.

ATAHUALPA YUPANQUI

L’ Integrale
harmonia mundi

Just in case I lose myself on the island and forget who I am.

VIOLETA PARRA

Las últimas composiciones
ANS Records

She embodies the essence of integrity in Man and the beauty of simplicity.

RUBÉN BLADES

Best of Rubén Blades
Globo Records

A portrait of times and realities that should not be forgotten, or the banality that can be masked by mass success. Helped by Silvio Rodríguez and Pablo Milanés.

BACH

St Matthew Passion
Orchestra of the 18th century
Frans Brüggen
Philips

The greatest libretto of all time put to music by the greatest composer of all time.

CHOPIN

The Nocturnes
Claudio Arrau
Philips

Here we have a blend of saltpetre, decadence, autumnal morning light and virtuosity: all the contradictions that I like about life. A sensation both imprecise and pleasurable, like a feeling that, if you could describe it, would cease to be.

R. STRAUSS

Four Last Songs
Gundula Janowitz
Berliner Philharmoniker.
H. von Karajan
Deutsche Grammophon

A work (and a singer) that profoundly move me: the star that guides me in the firmament of my artistic aspirations.

BRAHMS

Violin concerto Op. 77
David Oistrakh
Orchestre de la Radiodifusion française
Otto Klemperer
EMI

Violinists like Oistrakh (and many others) confirm to me that, in spite of himself, Man possesses something of the divine. These are angels amongst men.

BACH

Mass in B minor
Taverner Consort
Taverner Players
Andrew Parrot
EMI

Because this is the synthesis of Bach, and while listening to it I would forget the possibility that I might not be whole in body and spirit.

JAQUET DE BERCHEM

La favola di Orlando
Ensemble Daedalus
Roberto Festa
Accent
