What were your top musical discoveries of 2024?

Two records stand out for me - neither issued in 2024, but I purchased them both last year:

ARCHORA / AIŌN

Album by Anna S. Þorvaldsdóttir, Eva Ollikainen, and Iceland Symphony Orchestra

Ariabesques - WDR Big Band Plays Bach (The Goldberg Variations)

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach and WDR Big Band

Make what you will of my musical taste ;-)

Everything by the Esbjorn Svennson Trio

If you like classical - Deutche Gramophone - DG - started to release a bunch of stuff recorded from about 1960-70 or so, when companies actually spent big $$ to record classical music. It's pretty impressive technically and the sound is WOW. Even if you don't like classical, you can read what they did to go direct from the 4 and 8- track original tape to the cutting head. they eliminated all the middle steps to maximize the sound  The Original Source is the label name. I think they have released about 20 records so far, with more to come. 

Couple of others to add:

Fontaines DC - Romance

Laura Marling - Patterns in Repeat

Christopher Owens - I wanna run barefoot through your hair

Cat Power Sings Dylan - The 1966 Royal Albert Hall Concert (probably my favorite)

Glen Hansard - All That Was East Is West Of Me Now
