A while back, a blogging friend mentioned that he would like to have some recommendations regarding classical recordings to buy, so I got inspired to start making some recommendations.
2006 is this 250th anniversary of the birth of Mozart.
My favorite Mozart recording is "Horowitz Plays Mozart." On the recording Horowitz performs the Piano Concerto, K. 488 and the Piano Sonata, K. 333.
Of course the music-making is energetic and refreshing, but what makes it my favorite is that Horowitz's musicianship is more than aural or conceptual here, it is somehow palpable.
Even better than the CD would be the film that was made about the making of the recording!

Charles,
I couldn't help but think of you today of all days. This being Mozart's birthday and all. It's funny who you find when you google. Glad to see you have made it as far as you have, I have always known you would. Hope to one day cross paths with you again. Until then, thank goodness for the internet!
