Oldest Recordings that sound “audiophile”

Wondering what older recordings people have heard recently that they think to be “audiophile” worthy?

For example I just listened to “You Keep Coming Back Like a Song” by Dinah Shore from 1946 and it sounded like Dinah was in the room with me.

Probably remastered but so what, that counts!

When was the first “audiophile” worthy recording made, I wonder? How far back can it be?

Professor Johnson's Astounding Sound Show recorded in the late 50's is just that, an amazing sound show. I can bring the house down with the cut of African Drum(ing).  Amazing what could be done back then.
