clean but not sterile

My picks are: John Williams, Julian Bream and Ana Vidovic.
John for being reliable and down to the point. Many of his interpretations have become standards.
Julian for his sweet tone and emotional performances.
Ana for her absolute technical superiority, control and clarity that is second to none. She has a very distinct approach to the pieces that she plays and is obviously getting better year after year, which is frightening, really :)
