This is a list of recordings I discovered, listened to and loved the most during the previous year. There is no particular order but I emphasized some of them to distinguish the more important ones. They are all equally good but for some reason they got closer to my heart, e.g. I always listened to Colleen's latest album at nights I couldn't relax and it never failed lulling me to sleep (so the bold letters stand for 'thanks a lot' :)
The albums in the second part were the best recordings by the most impressive artists I met in 2013. So, here it comes!
