Recommended acoustic recordings

I have a bunch of Opus 3's, but not the ones recommended. I will explore those mentioned. Thank you for the responses everyone. A few examples of recordings that really shimmer on my simple setup (and most are regular RBCD's):

- The Florestan Trio, Debussy/Faure/Ravel

- Grieg, Peer Gynt, Sir Thomas Beecham

- Helge Lien Trio, hello Troll

- Julian Lage, Sounding Point

- Brian Bromberg, Wood

- Anouar Brahem, The Astounding Eyes of Rita

Hi Fromunda. I'm a big ECM fan from way back. I once saw CL in Big Sur. I like his Voice in the Night CD. IMO Manfred Eicher is a visionary and ECM's repertoire of artists cover the range of meditative, melancholic, reflective, and life-affirming emotions about as well as any genre outside of classical music/voice. There are very active ECM forums, but I'm guessing you know that already.

Hi Lokie. Not much for pop/rock music at all but do like some of the black blues. Agree, Alone & Acoustic is a good choice. When I was a youngster I had JW's It's My Life Baby LP and played it often to the dislike of my parents/neighbors. I enjoy intimate live club recordings with the sound of cash registers, doors closing and glasses tinkling in the background be they Bill Evans at the Vanguard or JW's at Pepper's Lounge. Love chamber music in intimate spaces, but of course outside of the occasional coughing, no disturbances permitted. I suppose you've heard JW's Hoodoo Man Blues re-release by Analogue Productions? It was good before, now it's great.
