O good! Another miraculous conversion on the road to Tarsus.... And here we all go again, trying to distill nearly a decade of listening into a short or not-so-short list, to issue as an imperative Buy-or-Die command to a defenseless newbie.... Sorry Mike, my resistance is down this evening due to a head-cold, so I will have to surrender to the temptation.

Windy's -- er -- Windsurfer's recommendation of Lara St John is one I can second. But your mention of playing piano has inspired me: for SHEER SENSUALITY from conception to delivery (she played, she recorded, she produced, she marketed...), ANY of Luiza Borac's discs:

* Enescu: Three Piano Suites - Luiza Borac
* Wanderer, Works by Liszt and Schubert - Luiza Borac
* Enescu: Two Piano Sonatas - Luiza Borac

____________
*Bruce, you FORGOT to mention any-and-all of the Fry Street / IsoMike recordings; hence my tweaking you above.

I think I missed something......

Anyway, thanks for your advice (which I hold in equal regard to any other title advice I receive here).

Mike-dude,

Sorry... Windsurfer-aka-Bruce and I are both avid fans of much of the same music. I certainly second his recommendation of Lara St John's Bach, but I seized the occasion to remind him (and everyone else) of our mutual mad enthusiasm for
* Haydn: String Quartets Op. 9 No. 4 & Op. 77 No. 2 - Fry Street Quartet
* Voices of Modernism and the String Quartet - Fry Street Quartet
* Beethoven: String Quartets Opp. 18 No. 4, 130 & 133 - Fry Street Quartet

and also any other disc recorded by Ray Kimber and his wonderful IsoMike apparatus. I know, I know: too much information. Brace yourself, there is SO MUCH to discover in SACDland! Nibble this mushroom...

PS: I would NEVER refer to Windsurfer as 'Windy'... well, hardly ever.
