You've never heard anything like this. A mandolin concert from arguably the best mandolin player: Chris Thile.

West-Eastern Divan Orchestra
Music can bring people together like few other things, and the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra playing Beethoven's 9th is a shining example on more than one level.

Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra
This week's concert is a great study in contrasts. Standing next to each other are some of the most dreamy orchestral pieces; beautiful washes of sound broken up by arguably the most primal piece of them all.

Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra
It's called the Leipzig Bach Festival, but it's so much more than just the music of Bach. This sterling concert from the series highlights both Bach's influence and Russian star: Nikolai Tokarev.

Handel and Haydn Society Orchestra and Chorus
This spectacular performance of Israel in Egypt — it's really that good — is a great example of how Handel was more than a one hit wonder when it came to writing oratorios.

There are hundreds of performers who blow us away with their playing, but both Dudamel and Shaham take it to the next level and also capture our hearts.

Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra
There's an old saying: "Musicians never die, they just decompose." But for conductors who keep going, don't let that adage give you the wrong impression. Bernard Haitink, in his 84th year, is still going strong and brings together an amazing Mahler 9.

London Symphony Orchestra
She's been called the people's diva, because while she has an incredibly luxurious voice, she also seems accessible and down-to-earth. In either case, she's something extraordinary — soprano Renee Fleming.

Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra
The first notes of Beethoven's Symphony No. 5 are so familiar to so many people that they've almost become a parody to themselves. You can almost imagine people thinking: Is it fate knocking on the door or should I go to the disco? As part of his final year as their Music Director, Paavo Jarvi gives a dynamite performance of it with the CSO.
