Great sounding/recorded albums


I'm tired of all the electronic fake drums and other music I'm hearing on so many albums. 

What are some excellently recorded albums/songs that actually sound like the instruments you're hearing and not a synth?

I am 2 channel only right now and primarily listen through Tidal.

Or "big" sounding symphonic albums that don't sound too thin with good bottom end.

Stuff that I can show off my system to friends and they go "wow".

If you are equipped to play CDs, try to find the recording of Dvorak's "New World" symphony (Symphony No. 9) on the Chesky label, identified as Chesky CD31, Jascha Horenstein conducting the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.  It is out of print, but is probably findable in used condition on eBay and possibly at Amazon.

When your friends have raised their jaws back to the normal position after listening to it, they will fall again when you tell them that it was recorded in 1962!
