I agree with many of the observations regarding DG CDs, but I look at my CD collection, and a fairly high percentage of the recordings are on DG. If you listen to more modern classical music, you will find that there is very often only one recording of a piece, and that it is on the DG label. That said, quite a few of the 20/21 recordings that have come out recently on DG have excellent sound.
Quite a few recent EMI recordings (especially the BSO recordings) have excellent sound, as well.
And, of course, as has been mentioned, anything on Reference Recordings is always top-caliber.
