Recordings that brought the music being played to such a paramount beauty that it wouldn't be so bad if no one ever recorded that piece again. This is not a thread for very good performances, but rather ones that you would take with you into purgatory. I'm interested to see what you guys have to say
Some performances that I considered to have 'killed it':
Dinu Lipatti Bach: Partita no. 1
Sergei Rachmaninoff Rachmaninoff: Concerto no. 1
Michelangeli Rachmaninoff: Concerto no. 4
