So last night I saw and heard Yo Yo Ma's Silk Road Ensemble, which was
great, mostly because of the presence of Kayhan Kalhor and Wu Man. Then
I realized that those are well-known enough that I have more than one CD
by each, but they are the only kamanche & pipa players I could mention.

So I came up with the "If you have to know just one xyz player,
it's...." game. Let's call it the "One Cellist" game: if you have to
know just one cello player, it's Yo Yo Ma.

And then I thought of a refinement of this game: let's introduce right
and wrong answers.

Cello. Wrong answer: Yo Yo Ma. Right answer: Jacqueline Dupre or Pablo
Casals.

Flute. Wrong answer: James Galway, right answer: Jean-Pierre Rampal.
(snob version: wrong answer: Jean-Pierre Rampal, right answer: Aurele
Nicolet or Marcel Moyse)

Who wants to play?

PIano. Wrong answer: Lang Lang, right answer: Alfred Brendel.

Victor.

The 'right' answer to any particular category must by necessity be a
generalist, whereas my preferences vary according to the nature,
nationality and even the specific piece of the music.
