There will never be another era like the Golden Age of Hollywood.  We didn't know how to blow up buildings then so we had no choice but to tell great stories with great characters.-Ben Mankiewicz

Well I gave answer at the top and am sticking to it, but speaking of Slava, this makes a very short short list

Hmm. Given that not everyone has stuck with one, single disc, allow me to present this as my second choice. Utterly sublime.

Every single post on the forum is unnecessary. Including the ones that are interesting or useful.

It's like herding cats around here. Clearly if I want to get a single choice from some people next time I have to ask for zero!

Yeah! Start a list of your top zero composers!    :'( :'( Perhaps we can do a composer of the century polling swirl?

Bruckner Symphony No. 9 Berlin PO, Furtwangler (1944).
"Courage is going from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm" (Churchill).

'The test of a work of art is, in the end, our affection for it, not our ability to explain why it is good' (Stanley Kubrick).

Side note: if anyone wants to hear my really noisy LP transfer of this classic and oddly hard-to-find album instead of buying the cdr (or the even more expensive cd) I can post it somewhere and you can call me a noob for recording it at too high a level and not cleaning the records properly beforehand (I can't redo it at the moment since my turntable is now in storage)

This is a tough (and probably senseless) question, and my answers would surely change form one day to another....

But thus recording would probably never fall from my personal Pantheon:



One of those rare occasions in which a work I really adore is interpreted in a way I unreservedly admire... :)

The first post doesn't enforce only one piece but single performance of a piece.
If it is one recording: Beethoven Piano Concerto No 4 Gilels/Ludwig/Philharmonia
If it is single performance of a piece:
Beethoven Piano Concerto No 4 Gilels/Ludwig
Elgar Cello Concerto du Pre/Barbirolli
Dvorak Cello Concerto Fournier/Szell
Beethoven Symphony 5 & 7 Kleiber
etc.
