@Nickie: I find it particularely difficult to vote in polls with a bit abstract topics. That's why especially this time I let my heart decide. Thanks again for sharing this beautiful song and for introducing this band! Heart

[EDIT]

Wintergatan: Marble Machine For sure one of the most original contributions in this poll. This marble machine is one ingenious and unique creation. The music itself is inherently experimental, as a composition it is maybe a bit less convincing but as a whole it wins me over by its charming playfulness filled with positive energy!

[EDIT]
Thanks Mila, as soon as the topic was getting discussed, I already knew there were going to be a ton of piano, vocal, guitar and maybe some solo orchestra instrument songs, so I focused on the unique/unusual. It may not be the most intricate composition, but the performance more than makes up for it.
Thank you for supporting independently produced music

These were more or less also my considerations. I was looking i.a. for a different instrumentation but still an option whereby a more complex sound and composition can be created. Besides I favoured original compositions over classical music and the like.

I finally got around to listening to these.
Once more there are some excellent suggestions I already knew, these are by Wintergatan, Tracy Chapman, and Chopin, loved to listen to these once more but as usually, for making my job easier, no vote to these.

Two "classical" nominations stood out for me at first listen, namely Handel (I love harpsichord!) and the Insektarium. There are also Barre Phillips, Manuel de Falla, and Estas Tonne - these are interesting and fascinating and would probably benefit from repeat listenings, but didn't have the immediate appeal of the other (shorter!) two. Mozart on banjo guitar is fun but doesn't really convince me as more than light entertainmment. 

McShee/Pentangle's When I Was In My Prime is a song I know very well, and I even think I have heard another a capella version of this. Not sure whether I have actually heard this one. It's wonderful, but it sounds so so familiar.

I ultimately gave Phillips, de Falla and Tonne another spin and it's hard. I won't vote for Barre Phillips as I don't feel much like violin solo today. I was tempted to vote for the great guitar playing but ultimately de Falla's composition trumps this - I really start to love this when later it becomes calmer. As many of Lorenzo's nominations this has so much to offer. 

Handel, Insektarium and de Falla it is.

Next poll starts today or tomorrow.

There are loads of splendid music and music prowess put up here in this thread - a pleasure to go through all this music. I was familiar with quite a number of it, so it would be a bit difficult to exclude some that are really masterpieces. One of these is for me the real stand-out and everything else is, well, just music...: Messiaen. Magistrale.
Then two that appealed to me the most and didn't know before: Manuel de Falla and Estas Tonne. Gideon Freudmann could have been here too, and I very much liked the vocal pieces by Tracy Chapman and Jacqui McShee. The more classical piano or harpsichord pieces were a great listen too, but less surprising. Wintergatan and Dokaka were maybe the most inventive and surprising, from another point of view. Nothing not to like!

Totally agree suitkees. 

I have been so busy with a new heavy workload for a couple of months so finally have some time this weekend to listen through the whole playlist and vote Thumbs Up
I'm sorry, if you were right, I'd agree with you. Robin Williams.

Lots of really good tracks here. It was hard to choose...

My votes go to:

1-) Estas Tonne - Song of the Golden Dragon (tigerfeet) - This was ferocious and magnificent.

2-) Stricagnoli - Eine Kleine Nachtmusik/Serenade (mathman0806) - Wow. This sounds cool. I wasn't expecting that.

3-) Latry - Messiaen: Apparition de l'eglise eternelle (Lewian) - Grandiose. Cool and weird harmonies. Loved that.

My votes:

Gideon Freudmann - Rain Monsters (Mila-13). Very interesting way the instrument is used. There's a lot of nerve to it too.

McShee - When I Was In My Prime (Snicolette). Not so much to say about it, just very captivating in all its simplicity.

Dokaka - Fracture (Tapfret). Bobby McFerrin on acid!

Great takes as always, Anders.  Doesn't need to be complicated to be good, in thinking that your takes are simple, but very spot-on.    ;)
