"Bridge Over Trouble Water" sounds artificial


During the pandemic I've been upgrading my sound system.  I used to enjoy Simon & Garfunkel, "Bridge Over Trouble Water".  With my upgraded equipment the hi resolution audio sounds very synthetic, with one track on top of another, not like real music at all.  The voices are doubled and violins just layered on top.  On my same system, I played a live concert of Andre Previn playing Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue".  It sounded real and beautiful, like a live performance.  Am I doing something wrong?

Yes...Eva was a true inspiration and a lovely person.  Gone far too soon ☹️  Her Blues Alley album has that on as well.
Paul Simon's "Graceland", also sounds very synthetic.  This is also a Roy Halee production.  I'm amazed how live concerts, even recorded over 50 years ago, sound so more musical than many studio-produced records that sold so well.  Am I crazy?
