As for the Topic of the Day...
1) Barber - Knoxville: Summer of 1915 - Dawn Upshaw (I could do without the Harbison song cycle on this disc, but the rest of it is wonderfully accompanied and beautifully sung.)
2) Debussy - Preludes, Complete (Books 1 and 2) - Walter Gieseking
3) Billy Joel - "An Innocent Man"
4)
A Chorus Line OCR
5) Ella Fitzgerald - "...Sings The Harold Arlen Songbook"
6)
Sunday in the Park with George OCR
7) Florence Foster Jenkins - "The Glory (
) of the Human Voice" - If I was stranded on a desert island, I think some laughter would be a good thing.
Beethoven - Piano Sonatas; Richard Goode, pianist. I would like to take the complete boxed set with me, but if I had to restrict it to one disc, I would like the Op. 31 set.
9) Mussorgsky - "Pictures at an Exhibition" - Vladimir Horowitz, pianist.
