will probably be the artists' interpretation that you first heard that caught your heart. All others will be nice, not so nice, fantastic, only different, etcetera, but that first exposure, the one that truly caught your heart, will not be superceded by another version.
Having said that, my personal reference (the one that was poked fun at earlier in the thread) is the Yo Yo Ma version that came as a three-pack. Since watching it on television, falling in love with the music, buying and listening to it countless times, to me that is the version to have.
In the last few years I've purchased probably close to 10 other artists' interpretation of this piece (many of them mentioned in this thread) by musicians probably held in higher esteem than Mr. Ma, but I still prefer his version.
So for something different, I will suggest Yo Yo Ma's recording of this that came out about 10 or so years ago.
