Altri Canti
Les Arts Florissants
harmonia mundi

The record that introduced me to Monteverdi long ago.

SCARLATTI, D.

Sonate
Vladimir Horowitz
Sony

Elegance and balance like this only come from the greatest artists.

BACH

Suites pour orchestre
The Amsterdam Baroque
Ton Koopman
harmonia mundi

If you want to snap out of the blues, this is probably the record for you.

MOZART

Sinfonie Jupiter
Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra
Nikolaus Harnoncourt
Telefunken

Although I’m a period instrument fan, this rendition of the Jupiter played by the Amsterdam Concertgebouw Orchestra is a real marvel.

BACH

Organ Works
Ton Koopman
Novalis

The organ and the harpsichord are my instruments, but the organ would be much more complicated to bring to my desert island!
