A friend's question about what I've heard in 2013 that I found special caused me to have to reflect a bit. My reply to him was that the two recent Yarlung recordings were very nicely recorded:
Petteri Ilvonen - Art Of The Violin/Yarlung
Antonio Lysy - At The Broad-Music From Argentina/Yarlung
But the LP that impressed me the most was a used record from Ars Nova: an early pressing of Ivan Moravec playing Chopin Nocturns. I've had this recording in my collection for many years in a later pressing. Hearing the earlier pressing was an auditory thrill.
Moravec, pn: Chopin: Nocturnes op9, op15, op27, Connoisseur CS 1065 (Cream and Gold label)
And, truly top drawer for me have been the ORG 45rpm reissues of the London/Decca recordings, particularly:
De Falla's Three Cornered Hat,
Ravel's Daphnis et Chloe
Mendelssohn's Midsummer Night's Dream
But all of the ORG London/Decca reissues are great!
