Thanks! I hadn't known those yet. I definitely see why he called them "romantic".
Continuing my propaganda for non-brilliant interpretations by brilliant pianists, here's Emil Gilels with Mozart's variations on the aria Salve Tu Domine. For reasons I can't quite put my finger on, I find it very moving, especially towards the end.
Thanks for the warm welcome. Enjoyed the clip of the "Spring" Sonata - 4th mvt. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nY7WLrGEO8U&feature=related. David Oistrakh was a brilliant violinist, who from my perspective had just the right blend of power and delicacy in his playing. Here are a couple more classical videos that may be of interest.
Thank you also for the Kol Nidrei. Both pieces remind me of the diverse music at Sunday morning services at our UU church. The Kol Nidrei is part of the annual Yom Kippur service.

I'm sure I've played this before but K is home for the holiday and this was one of her favorite performances. We must have listened to it 1,000 times while she was learning it. I still love it!

Just droppin by before I go out to play my geetar to say how much I enjoy this thread!
I myself started learning Bach's Prelude #1 in C Major. It sounds good behind the pastor when he leads a prayer on Sunday. Of course I play it very slowly.
Eventually I hope to play it with a singer singing Ave Maria.(Gounod)
