schubert, of course I've heard "the big guy" perform Nessum Dorma and it was enjoyable. But he didn't tingle my emotional fibers as Bjorling's version does. I say that as someone without any musical training but as an active listener since I was about 14, and that was decades ago!
I feel the same about some of Uchida's performances. Few musicians bring the same emotional response for me as her playing.
BTW, as an audio hobbyist I loved your comment "I have the greatest 15K system in the world and it only cost me 45K !" I may have to quote that among a few friends. ;^)
