The absolute best recordings you have heard.

[ChemMan]

Music Lovers,

I have had the immense good fourtune to find with some serious music/stereo people on this site. We have been trading back and forth a handful of the best produced, engineered, mastered and mixed recordings of which we know. Hopefully others will contribute as I am running out of ideas.

Examples:

-- Artist -- Album -- Song(if needed) -- Where to find/label -- Genre

--Bob Dylan -- Oh Mercy -- Man in the long Black coat -- Tidal -- Rock

--Hadouk Trio -- Baldamore -- Tidal/Naive -- Jazz

--Janine Jansen -- Vivaldi the Four Seasons -- Tidal/Decca -- Classical

I cannot comment on quality of recordings as do not us Tidal. I assume this your main source.

 

[ChemMan]

....from anywhere. I first starting putting it together, the source wasn't Tidal. My example albums were all heard on CD or Vinyl for the first time. I listen from Tidal, and the root recordings are still good.
