Name 3 songs where audio quality and song quality completely align


Lately I’ve found myself alternating between music I love (but sounds mediocre) and music I don’t know well or only like (but sounds incredible).

Occasionally, I stumble across a track where the song could both serve as a great show off piece for my gear and I love the music.

If you can, name up to 3 songs where the audio and song quality take you over the moon with pleasure.

Here ya go.

Bebop (Victor Feldman vibes, Scott LaFaro bass, Stan Levy drums 1958)

I Thought About You (Wesla Whitfield vocal)

La Vallee des Cloches (composed AND performed by Maurice Ravel 1922)

This last recording is special because it was originally recorded by Maurice Ravel on a Duo Art recording piano, which gets every nuance of the artist. Many of the great performers and composers of the day recorded on that system. What you are hearing is a Duo Art player piano recorded with modern equipment. You’re quite literally listening to one of the Great Composers performing his own music, in a fully modern playback system.

Visit Dal Segno Recordings to check out these amazing recordings from a half century before modern Hi-Fi.

And as an added extra bonus, take a listen to Donny's Harley.  Crank this one up a bit.
