What is your favourite Coltrane album ?

I would like to have one or two of his record albums. Recording quality is important too, of course. And what are the best pressings, original American, Japanese pro, something else?
I am familiar with his sound but not well enough.

Inna, which Coltrane? He seemed to always be in constant change. I don't think you can just have a couple. You need them all. 😉

Personal favorites would be Live at the Vangard, Giant Steps, Favorite Things. Of the latter "louder" period, take your pick, all good in their own way, although a harder listen. Enjoy the journey!

Oh yeah, The one with Johnny Hartman is really good!

If I could only have two, they would be Ballads and Coltrane with Johnny Hartman ... both on Impulse. Everything mentioned here is good stuff, and you can't go wrong with any of these suggestions. I have 'em all. One that is usually not in the conversation is Crescent. Nice pressing and great music!
