I'm sure this has been a topic of discussion from all different perspectives, regarding well-recorded music that although it is sudio produced (as opposed to a recorded live event) is so clean and "real soundin" - you close your eyes and the artist/musicians are REALLY THERE IN FRONT OF YOU!
For me the following exhibit what I'm talking about: the 1st disc of the RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS 'STADIUM ARCADIUM', NORA JONES ' COME AWAY WITH ME', JONI MITCHELL 'BLUE', MILES DAVIS 'KIND OF BLUE' and DAVE BRUBECK 'TAKE FOUR'...for Older recording the brand/issuer seems to make a major difference.
Your suggestions/recomendations would be greatly appreciated - please help me expand my repertoire of what I term EXPERT STUDIO RECORDINGS.
Recently I have rediscovered Tears for Fears Songs from the Big Chair. Japanese CD. Outstanding! So good I bought the 180 gram German Pressing and the CD sounded just as good or better. Also Telarc CDs are my go to. Just bought a re-recording of Victory at Sea and its excellent. Paid 25 cents from a flea market.
Check out the Wolfert Brederode Trio on ECM, recent recording entitled "Black Ice." Available on CD for reasonable cost. Stunning sound, and great, spare music, well-produced and played.
