Sugarbrie; agree mostly on the DG recordings...however, I have found that the CD's from DG marked "4D" recording are quite "entertaining". I would not state that they are accurate as an RCA red dog purist microphone approach as I suspect they are heavily engineered, but they are nonetheless enjoyable in a hi-fi sense, and certainly not treble harsh as most DG.
PAL; anything on the Lyrita label, they did not know how to make a bad recording, the drawback is that the catalog is only more recent English composers (last 75 or so years), not everyone’s cup of tea.
Agree with RCA living releases, even the BMG releases are quite good..never cared much for the old Mercury living presence..found them to be lacking in dynamics.
