My current favorites are Eva Cassidy's "The water is wide" and "Autumn Leaves", Kiki Dee's "Take my breath away" and Ella Fitzgerald's "Angel eyes" and "Lush life".
Right now it would be Rene Marie She has a new CD titled Experiment In Truth. Excellent recording of none audiophile music. In other words it is terrific. I believe you can download some free from her website. renemarie.com
Regarding classical performers. It seems like those recordings are not recorded the same way, with as much care, with a good mic. I don't listen to much classical for that reason.
