There are three things I'd like to add to my cd collection. The first is Beethoven's symphony cycle conducted by a black man. The second is Beethoven's symphony cycle conducted by a woman. I'm curious what their perspective would bring to his work.
The third - which is a unicorn - is an album entitled "John Williams and the President's Own." This cd is a two disc compilation was given away at a concert John Williams conducted. John Williams also conducted both cds 2008/2003. It was literally given away to those who were fortunate enough to attend the concert last year. It's not available for purpose. I religiously watch the second hand market and it's never come up. It is a CD I would be willing to pay an obscene amount of money for - it would be the crown jewel of my collection due to the elusiveness and exclusivity of this album.
