Collected download links.
Back during the Summer I started a collection of download links that I labeled "Awesome CDs." It started with flute recordings only, then branched into violin recordings, and eventually to some voice and ensemble recordings as well. There are a respectable number of them now, so I thought I would share them with anyone who wants them.
All of these are quality recordings that I highly recommend, regardless of your personal taste. :)
Please keep in mind that I did not upload any of these, so things like size, number of parts, and file host are not up to me. All of these link back to the original blog post.
