Me neither, but as has been pointed out on this list the biggest problem
with the Suzuki cycle is the lack of strong soloists (I like his
conducting.) I don't think its his forte.

Nope.  Not yet.  I omitted some others too.  I (correctly) figured that
everyone else would mention the regulars:  Scholl(s), Bowman, etc.

I failed however to mention Brian Asawa, the new RCA guy who does Dowland
lute songs and other early-type material.  If you like that sort of thing.
Not my cup of coffee.
