The Good Stuff


There are simply two kinds of music, good music and the other kind ... the only yardstick by which the result should be judged is simply that of how it sounds. If it sounds good it's successful; if it doesn't it has failed. --  Duke Ellington

This purpose of this thread is to provide a place to post outstanding examples of the Good Music.

My CD has a different cover art, but it is the same album.

Here's a few of my CDs that I find are easy to get lost in:

Telarc - Ceremonial Music for Trumpet & Symphonic Organ by Rolf Smedvig & Michael Murray

Stand Ye Steady: Songs of Courage & Inspiration by Usma Cadet Glee Club

The Sound of Glory by Mormon Tabernacle Choir on SACD

The first three are fantastic recordings and great listening music.  This last one is a slight step down for recording quality, but you enjoy this type of music it'll suck you in every time.

Love Divine: inspirational CD by pianist Ian Mulder & London Symphony Orchestra (there's actually six of these and they are all great listening)

If you enjoy trumpet music, then you need to check out these:

Bach, Handel, Purcell: Gloria by Gabor Boldoczki

Italian Concertos by Gabor Boldoczki

Boldoczki is a true virtuoso that makes what should be impossible sound routine.  It's rare to find a music that combines true virtuoso difficulty with great listening music and these are both excellent recordings as well.
