High quality recordings any genre


I like all kinds of music, so give me some suggestions on some high quality recordings you listen too. I find a lot of music is poorly recorded. When you get a high quality recording listening is so much more pleasurable.

In an optimal room/system acoustics, everything sound better because it is better perceived...I listen great musician badly recorded too ...

I am interested by the acoustic translation from the recording , good or bad... If i love some music , the sound bad sound recording does not matter anymore especially in a good system ...

it is more difficult to appreciate good music badly recorded in a bad ausio room/system than on a top audio room/system ...

Now what i said is meaningful for classical... In pop/ rock bad recordings are more than often simply put aside because of the poorness of the musical content and /or the easy availability of alternatives pop/rock albums  more well recorded with a better musical content ...

In classical, nothing will replace Sofronitsky interpretation of Scriabin or of Swzeryngk Bach less well recorded than other versions ... And sometimes even a very bad recording will be valuable because of a unique interpretation and a deep musical content ...

I need a good audio system especially to be able to hear better bad recordingsb with deep musical content ...I listen music not my system ...

 

 

 

@lonemountain, + 1 on Al Schmidt. "Just A Little Lovin'" by Shelby Lynne (primarily Dusty Springfield covers) is a well - known recording among audiophiles. It was produced by Phil Ramone and mixed by Al Schmidt.

As my audio system has gotten better, I find myself relegating many of my poorer quality recordings for listening in the car only.
