High quality recordings any genre


I like all kinds of music, so give me some suggestions on some high quality recordings you listen too. I find a lot of music is poorly recorded. When you get a high quality recording listening is so much more pleasurable.

Here is a trifecta. Copland's Fanfare for the Common  Man, Appalachian Spring Suite, and his 3rd Symphony. Apart from excellent performances, the acoustics are superb. Hell I'd buy this even if I didn't like Copland all that much. The Fanfare could be a lease breaker if your system is up to it. :-)

Try audiophile websites like Elusive Disc or Acoustic Sounds; there are a number of these and they specialize in great sounding, well-mastered recordings.

Another great one to check out for vinyl is Vinyl Me Please - they have some really awesome exclusive content, like this big box set of Miles Davis-The Electric Years, a beautiful package which has remastered versions of his studio albums from 'In A Silent Way' through 'Get Up With It', and these sound superb - right up there with the MoFi Master Discs and many find them preferable to the MoFi. They're already sold out (made only 2000), but last time I looked there was a wait list for them.
