I have the Selected Signs box set, which I recommend.

I also love anything with Anja Lechner the wonderful cellist. Try Die Nacht or Nuit Blanche where she is part of the Tarkovsky Quartet. I believe she is Eichner’s life partner.
Yes, she is. Both Manfred’s partner and a great cellist.
A recently acquired disc and new favourite of mine:
It contains some of the same music that Stravinsky used for his ballet Pulcinella. Anja Lechner is, as always excellent.

A couple or artists/albums that I played today that I had not listed previously. Well worth your time to give a listen.
Michele Rabbia - ‘Lost River’ - a wonderful trio and enjoy the combination of Trombone, Guitar and Drums with a mix of Electronics and Sounds. A little something different but the music draws me in and enjoy it quite a bit. The opening description of the album from the ECM website says it all, " Lost River is an evocative post-ambient, richly textured sonic event, and one of the outstanding beyond-category recordings of recent ECM history.’
Ketil Björnstad - 'The Passion of John Donne - One beautiful album with a trio of pianist, a Tenor Saxophone, Flute, Voicalist and Percussionist along with the Oslo Chamber Choir. One beautiful album.

Every once in a while I have to play this ECM album to realise how bad it is. Oh Manfred what were you thinking of.
The band members a supergroup of sorts are just so bland it is beyond belief.
If anyone other than me and Manfred or the other guy on the forum who said he owns all the ECM releases has this - give it a spin and tell what I’m missing please.

I like this recording too. I have an original German-pressing on vinyl. It sounds excellent.
Probably not my first choice in terms of interpretation.
But, by far, one of the best sounding recordings.
A great addition to my Bach’s Sonatas and Partitas collection.
