Audiogon "RECORDINGS TO DIE FOR" list

I've been listening to some of my favorite recordings this weekend and was wondering what others on Audiogon felt were there favorites. We have all seen the Stereophile "Records to Die For", The Absolute Sounds recommended list, Music Directs' list, The Golden Ear, etc. now I'm hoping to assemble the Audiogon "Recordings To Die For". Please list your five favorite recordings, the ones you listen to over and over or play for friends. I would assume the sonic quality is excellent in that this is an audiophile site. The performance and enjoy ability should also be excellent. Please leave your top five, even if they are already chosen so we can discover the very top for the Audiogon listeners. ALSO PLEASE REFRAIN FROM CRITICIZING OTHERS OPINIONS AND JUST LEAVE YOUR FAVORITES!

August 2002: I have compiled a summary and a full printer-friendly list of all of the recommendations below.

2)"Natures Realm", The Philadelphia Orchestra, Water Lily Acoustics.
3)Patricia Barber, "Cafe Blue", Re-mastered by First Impression Records, gold cd or vinyl.
4)Janis Ian, "Breaking Silence", gold cd
5)Cowboy Junkies,"Trinity Session", gold cd

Vinyl and/or CD, DVD-A, SACD, all formats should be concidered in that so many of us have multiple format reproduction capabilities. (JUST TO HELP CLEARIFY)

Excellant posts by all, THANK-YOU. Please keep up the great work. P.S. Lucinda is about emotion, the raw unedited emotion makes her special. I agree the voice is raw! J.D.
