CHANDOS label...

Classical music listeners, what do you think of the CHANDOS label? The recorded sound seems to be very good, compared to other labels. What do they do differently? Thanks for your thoughts.

They have recorded a lot of music that is overlooked by other major labels and is worth exploring. SQ and performances are good to excellent (like other most other labels).

On average, SQ wise, Hyperion might be a tad better. In comparison between the two, I would say that Hyperion might be a bit more neutral and Chandos a bit more rich. Unfortunately that richness might just make some of their CD's less transparent and or reverberent.
