Bach - Preludes, Fugues, etc. Goldmark - Violin Concerto

Op.20/3 and Op.20/4

My college roommate was a classical music lover. The first versions I heard of many classical pieces were his LPs. I liked many of them quite a bit, but over the years I became familiar with many other versions. So very few pieces that I would now call my favorites are the same versions I heard on my roommates LPs many many decades ago

Mendelssohn - String Quartet Op.44/2 Scharwenka - Piano Concerto No.4

Ted, thanks for posting this information on Bob Wilber's passing. Back many years ago when my wife, my son and I were visiting John Norris in Toronto, Bob Wilber came over and had a meal with us. Erik our son was just beginning to take alto saxophone lessons. Bob told Erik that it would be beneficial for him to study clarinet first and then, if he so desired move over to alto sax. Bob came to Toronto often, and also was regular at the Paradise Valley Jazz Party in Phoenix. We saw Bob live many times, and even though my taste veered more toward bebop and hard bop, always enjoyed his playing on both curved soprano sax and clarinet. He had the ability to fit well with a broad variety of musician of different styles.
