Ludwig van Beethoven Sinfonia n.°6 in fa maggiore, Op.68.

An essential yet absolutely complete review for what I love to call "the perfect symphony": you cannot move a single note from this unmatched sound architecture for balance, intensity, "narrativity," and pictorialism. I have the versions by Bohm, Karajan, and Abbado, all with the Berliner: gentle and rich the first, powerful and "institutional" the second, agile and sleek the last one, which, to this day, is the one I prefer.

Soul is not prominent in my listening habits, but the sensual spirituality and the feeling you mention, which also ooze from the snippets, are quite tempting.

Excellent work, shark, both for the quality of the proposal and for the methods and tones of the discussion, which are highly enjoyable. I have the Symphonies with the Philharmonia Orchestra conducted by Ashkenazy (in a double CD from Decca that also contains the piano version played by Vladimir himself), while I have the Rites with the Berliners conducted by Karajan: both are highly recommended, but I would love to hear this version by Levine with the Metropolitan Orchestra.

Really not bad, you've debunked the taboo of unnecessary duplicates.

What a class act Dave Douglas! I don't have this one, I only own "Soul On Soul" from 2000, which is stunning. For the "Report Beautiful Covers" campaign, this "Strange Liberation" is definitely a contender. Another great hit, odra.

A McCoy Tyner in Latin style, who would let that slip away? Another great shopping tip, symbad.

Described this way, these Clogs really have everything to please me, maybe some samples? A very tempting proposal (and since I'm at it, I'll also note Samuel's tip...)
