    Default Musicians you do like!

    In opposition to the thread entitled "musicians you don't like". What are the musicians you like - or even love? Name as many as you want, say what they specialise in. They can be very well known or completely unknown.

    I'll start with Marijana Mijanovic. Lovely contralto. And that fury!

    Alisa Weilerstein - cello
    Hilary Hahn - violin
    Eric Ruske - horn
    Alison Balsom - trumpet
    Andre Watts - piano

    Wendy Carlos. I don't know her but she is quite a chatterbox on some of her CD's and web page. A charming human being. A fantastic composer as well.

    I appreciate the very open-ended idea of "like." Taking it in a more subjective direction, it doesn't necessarily mean the greatest artists, nor always the artists who are behind your favorite renditions.

    Piano- Josef Hofmann. We don't see his like any more.

    Violin- (here's a surprise) Shmuel Ashkenasi. We'll never know what kind of solo career he could have put together had he inclined in that direction... but he instead went the way of being part of the team for the Vermeer Quartet.

    Cello- Jacqueline du Pré, because I just can't help myself.
    The hardest knife ill us'd doth lose his edge. Shakespeare- Sonnet 95

    Martha doesn't signal when the orchestra comes in, she's just pursing her lips..
