@jrw1971. I enthusiastically second your mention of David Crosby's "If Only I Could Remember My Name". I was fortunate enough to hear it the year it was released and then the reissue in 2006, which is an amazing remastered recording. I recently played it for my brother and he was astounded as to its content and quality, now 50 years from its debut.
Great Recordings, Sonically Speaking - and Why.
I think many of us would accept that artists such as Pink Floyd, Steely Dan, and Dire Straits have consistently put out music that was at least originally recorded to a high technical standard. [I'm not too sure what the loudness wars may have done to subsequent reissues, but even so, the tone and timbre thankfully tends to remain intact.]
However there must be plenty of lesser known recordings out there that could be said to be of a high sonic standard.
One such recording that I like to put on in the background whilst I'm doing other things is a piano recording that features wonderfully lush timbre and some delightful tunes.
This one is The Disney Piano Collection by Hirohashi Makiko and to me it makes a lot of other piano recordings sound a little washed out.
