jrosemd, I like your list.  Those three are among my overall favorites as well.Now, being Sunday, here is a follow up.  For me, along with a walk in the woods or by the seashore, music can bring me closest to finding spirit.https://www.youtube.com...

Inner tracks vs outer tracks
The Stevenson alignment was designed to minimize inner groove distortion.  Many/most classical recordings reach a crescendo at the end where this may be more important.

o10, in the past you and I have aligned pretty well regarding specific music or performances, I don't know why we have such a disconnect here?1.  I picked up on your three offerings of "Speak Low" to relate my opinion that when lyrics accompany a ... 
trying to reach Art Audio..... are they gone ?
