Jacqueline Du Pre

I've read that this is a good introduction to her work, as it contains her playing pieces by many composers (Dvorak, Haydn, Schumann, Beethoven, Brahms and more). It's really excellent.

* Blues; it's ok. ...Three girls, playing & singing from the heart.
...The guitars are simple (nothing fancy), and the vocals at times are irritating (that's their regular tonal character emphasized by a less than perfect recording). ...2007 on Ruf Records GmbH.

On the laptop working and listening to my Squeezebox Touch playing the "Ben Webster" channel on Pandora.... doesn't sound all that bad! Connected via coax to my Playback Designs MPS-5.
 
---John,

I must have a dozen pairs of cans if not more.
I got a pair of Sennheiser (forgot the model #) that I like; but don't use any of them now.
...And for many many years as I have my own space.

* Right now I am listening to a French female folk singer from the analog r.a.d.i.o. (Espace Musique).
It's from my analog vintage Tuner (Marantz) in my bedroom; the speakers are omnipole, so the sound reaches me just fine in the open living room/kitchen area. ...That way I feel relax when I communicate on the Internet.
It is Louise Forestier and I know pretty much all the tunes she is singing as they are traditional from Quebec.
{She's good friend of Robert Charlebois, and I met them both before, in person.}

And when I was younger I used to play several of their tunes; on the flute and on the harmonica.
They are beautiful songs, and very peaceful and romantic. And she has a nice voice too.
By the way, music's playing on average 18 hours a day at my place. And never with headphones.
Also, I never get bored musically, as I got several systems, loudspeakers, components,
and several musical instruments for personal creativity. Plus with all my music software (CDs, SACDs, DVD-Audios, LPs, Tuners (analog, digital, HD), DVD & Blu-ray music concerts).

I'm also a huge Cinema lover; but I'm sure you knew that. Dunno yet what I'll be watching tonight.
With me it's always a last minute impulse, or an earlier inspiration, suggestion, idea, ...

Peace & Freedom (liberty) are my best companions.
I am totally & comfortably numb; in the now, in my life, and hope to always remain.
