Great Recordings, Sonically Speaking - and Why.


I think many of us would accept that artists such as Pink Floyd, Steely Dan, and Dire Straits have consistently put out music that was at least originally recorded to a high technical standard. [I'm not too sure what the loudness wars may have done to subsequent reissues, but even so, the tone and timbre thankfully tends to remain intact.]

However there must be plenty of lesser known recordings out there that could be said to be of a high sonic standard.

One such recording that I like to put on in the background whilst I'm doing other things is a piano recording that features wonderfully lush timbre and some delightful tunes.

This one is The Disney Piano Collection by Hirohashi Makiko and to me it makes a lot of other piano recordings sound a little washed out.

Jazz, by Ry Cooder is an excellent and interesting LP.  I see Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab is referenced above.  I purchased their very expensive  re release  of Ry Cooder's Paradise & Lunch.  Sad to say it was money wasted as my original copy of the same LP sounds every bit as good.  I guess taking good care of your vinyl over the decades really does pay off.
