High quality CDs


Where can I find CDs with high quality recording, specifically classical.. More than 50% of the CDs that I buy with classical music, sounds so anemic and noisy when you crank up. Any suggestions will be really helpful. I prefer physical format over streaming..

Many (but not all) BIS CDs are well recorded and mixed. They are not minimalist recordings but are clean. If you get them as downloads from eClassical.com, you can get a refund if you don’t like a particular release.

Oddly enough, given their origin as the low-priced label, Naxos has released some excellent-sounding recordings. The series of Malcolm Arnold symphonies was recorded by Chris Craker with a minimalist technique. Most of their guitar recordings -- I am thinking of the Laureate Series -- are recorded by Norbert Kraft, himself a fine guitarist and someone interested in minimalist recordings.
