Great thread! Next time, don't limit it to 'pre-1900' because then I have to omit my REAL favorites:

Lee Ritenour; David Benoit; Randy Crawford; Arturo Sandoval; Diane Schur, and my husband's favorite: Jane Olivor.

For pre-1900:

Dvorak: Symphony in # Minor

Vivaldi: Four Seasons

Debussy: La Mer

My favorite opera: (don't laugh) Tosca & Madame Butterfly

Jane Olivor ?

Jane is one of the FINEST female singers ever.. I've worn out the vinyl album of "Chasing Rainbows"..played it so MUCH ...finally was able to find the CD.. Great album.. wonderful singer~!
