Right now, there are two musicians I greatly admire. One plays my instrument and that just adds on to it because you know freaking difficult it can be.
That guy is Alexander Dmitriev, bayanist.

It has such a nature thing going for it, somehow a warmth. And I have no idea how the man manages to play this without his head going blue:
Mozart's Oboe Concerto
