    Artist: Maria Callas

    Song: La mamma morta

    Description: Absolutely blows you away!

    Generally I don't enjoy listening to Callas, but that recording was OK. My favourite Callas recording is this one, of her singing La Sonnambula:

    Artist: Joan Sutherland

    Song: Spargi d'amaro pianto (Mad Scene) (Lucia di Lammermoor)

    Description: My favourite Lucia, with an incredible trill on the final E flat.

    Artist: Mariella Devia

    Song: Spargi d'amaro pianto (Mad Scene) (Lucia di Lammermoor)

    Description: Sung in the original key, BUT with a high F at the end, the ONLY occasion I can find that this has been done. Tempo is a bit annoyingly slow, though.

    ^^ I agree with you on those two though

    There's a few videos of Kapustin on YouTube. Find the Toccata too -- perhaps not great, but infinitely entertaining. I should probably get some of his own recordings, I've only got Hamelin's. The whole idea of "quasi-C19th études with jazz harmony" sounds slightly dodgy at first, but I've been won over

    What a coincidence! I was just watching Kapustin's videos yesterday and thinking about putting one up here (it seems I was beaten to it :p:). Really interesting fusion of styles.

    Check out these Kapustin performances:

    That's hilarious. Any more like that? I like this one, for the crazy legs, and the bit where he stops to talk to the bass player:

    Artist: Bones Apart (all female trombone quartet from the UK)

    Song: Stars and Stripes Forever, J. P. Sousa

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mHw8P8NnUvI

    This is excellent (bearing in mind that the recording is on a single mic) the obligato is handled effortlessly by both players.

    Artist: Christian Lindberg

    Song: Various

    Oh my god! I just found the best Lucia di Lammermoor mad scene EVER! Joan Sutherland in 1959 with the build up and then the final aria, and with a final high F (not the normal E natural that the majority of others sing) that is divine!

    A wonderful interview of Oscar Peterson by Andre Previn:

    Part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=55wYm...eature=related
    Part 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nDGzG...eature=related
    Part 3: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M2q3U...eature=related
    Part 4: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rcIfK...eature=related
    Part 5: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2cyo...eature=related
    Final Part: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51fUTDWhXys

    It is nice to see them playing together at the end. Previn is better than I expected, but Oscar set a pretty rough tempo for someone who asked for "something slow"!

    Artist: Beethoven (played by 11 year old girl called Chelsea)

    Song: Moonlight Sonata, 3rd Movement

    Description: My favourite piece of music played to near-perfection by an 11 year old. There are better interpretations, but her age is astounding.
