Cleanest CD recording to test with

Stumbled across your post just now and will throw in the three that I am listening to this morning.  Was in the mood for that sourcery that you are referring to - no walls to be found type of sound.  Music and musicians placed across and deep in their specific venues.  Today's three are....

Dave Weckl Band - Live (and very plugged in)

Melody Gaedot - My One And Only Thrill

Acoustic Alchemy - Against the Grain

+1 Jamie Cullum. Discovered myself earlier this year. 

Listening right now to The Teskey Brothers "Half my Harvest". Sounds very promising. Try "Hard Feeling" and then "Honeymoon". Great NEW recording. Like Leon Bridges. THEY ARE STILL MAKING FANTASTIC WELL-RECORDED MUSIC. 

Theres so many. Roseanne Cash made an acoustic "demo" a long time ago. Don't miss Radka Toneff, Eva Cassidy, Nancy LaMott.

Maybe they don't count but studio acoustic lives from Lynherd Skynherd, Nirvana, Alice in chains.

Guy Davies - Sweetheart like you
Bill Evans - Waltz for Debbie
Joss Stones - Soul sessions (first track is CLOSE)
Eric Bibb - Spirit and the blues
Jazz at the pawnshop
Featuring Norah Jones
A lot with Leonard Cohen
Cowboy Junkies - Trinity 

Need to stop. Will be back. 

Did I forget
Muddy Waters - Folk singer 
Shame.

and naturally:

Chuck Mangione - Childrens of Sanchez ...probably high om DR List :-)

Lou Reed - Berlin: Live at St. Ann's ...Men of good fortune (Live but needs to be mentioned)

Dear justvintagestuff,
Some of the 'cleanest' recordings I have heard are these:

1. Bach's Goldberg Variations played by Ito Ema on MA Recordings (https://www.discogs.com/Johann-Sebastian-Bach-Ito-Ema-Goldberg-Variations/release/10315736)

2. 6 Suites a Violoncello Solo Senza Basso played by Martin Zeller, also on MA Recordings

3. Evangelion 1.0: You are (Not) Alone OST (https://www.discogs.com/Shiro-Sagisu-Evangelion10-You-Are-Not-Alone-Original-Sound-Track/release/834...), except tracks 1, 31 and 36-38. Before any classical music fans clobber me with their spare Mahler and Rachmaninov records, of course I will say that this soundtrack is by no means one of the very 'cleanest' classical recordings in history, but to me the instruments are conveyed very convincingly. For that matter, Utada Hikaru's voice on track 31 is similarly charming, the 'pop' quality of the recording and production notwithstanding.
