a little dinner music


I would love your help in selecting a few CD's that would play well in the background during a nice evening meal with friends. I am looking for music with limited dynamic range so that it can play with fairly uniform softness, generally upbeat in tone, and very beautiful.
Some I like are Japanese Melodies,Rampal flute on Denon. Distant Songs, Barry Gordon,piano on Telarc, Haydn 3 Piano Sonatas, Schriff on Denon, and I Ching Synphony, Steiner on Real Music.
Thanks

A few cds, which I think would fit to your needs:
Handel Violin sonatas, Pauk-Hungaraton,
Telemann, metodische sonaten, sony seon,
Chopin - any solo piano music with Rubinstein,
Bach Wohltemperiertes Clavier- Schiff Andras,
French viloni sonatas, NAxos
"Houston Person"....mellow tenor saxophone

"Chris Botti"...mellow trumpet

Any recordings by Bill Evans, especially "Waltz for Debby" and "Sunday at the Village Vangaurd". Perfect mello, lyrical, and intimate dinner music. Have fun!
