TT: Eleven perfectly lovely records
- Benjamin Britten, Nocturnal after John Dowland (played by Julian Bream)- Frank Sinatra and the Hollywood String Quartet, "With Every Breath I Take" (from Close to You)
- Paul Dukas, Villanelle (played by Dennis Brain and Gerald Moore)
- James Taylor, "Something in the Way She Moves" (remade for Greatest Hits)
- Franz Schubert, Rondo in A Major, D. 951 (performed by Artur and Karl Ulrich Schnabel)
- The Byrds, "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue" (from Ballad of Easy Rider)
- François Couperin, Les baricades mistérieuses (played by Igor Kipnis)
- Stan Getz and Bob Brookmeyer, "Who Could Care" (from Stan Getz/Bob Brookmeyer, Recorded Fall 1961)
- Emanuel Chabrier, Idyll (performed by Paul Paray and the Detroit Symphony)
- Luciana Souza, "Doce de Coco" (from Brazilian Duos)
- Stephen Sondheim, "Fear No More" (from the original-cast album of The Frogs)
Why eleven, you ask? (You did ask, right?) Because I've decided to strike a blow against ten-item lists. Down with arbitrary limitations! My next list may contain seven items, or thirteen....
