A difficult choice

It's been a few weeks since hurricane Irene made a mess of things, sparing my cd collection but ruining my basement. This morning, while listening to Bruckner, my wife posed an interesting question; " If your collection was in eminent danger, which 10 cd's would you save?" Off the top of my head I thought of a few that would merit consideration, and those would be the ones that I have listened to the most over the years. 1. Korngold's "The Sea Hawk" with Gerheart   2. Rachmaninoff Piano concerto no 2 with William Kapell. 3. Shirley Horn "Here's to Life". 4 Mahler's Symphony no. 2 from the New York Philharmonic set with Zubin Metha conducting. 5. A collection of string music which includes Peter Warlock's Capriol Suite on the Nimbus label. 6. The Pavarotti "Turandot". 7. Scheherazade with Stokowski, a public performance with the Philadelphia Orchestra from 1962. 8. Wagner's "Immolation Scene" with Birget Nilsson , ( and  Stoky) from the Philadelphia Orchestra Centennial set. 9. A Handel collection with my beloved voice teacher Richard Lewis on the Dutten label. 10. My first Beethoven 9th with Bruno Walter from the 50's. Now, having completed my list of ten, I shudder to think what I have left out!
