What is the best sounding HDCD?

I've listened to Willie Nelson's "Teatro" several times this week and am impressed with the its wondeful sonic quality. This HDCD encoded disc really puts the musicians in the room with you, and the songs ain't half bad either.
There have been quite a few threads here where members are looking for HDCDs in general. I'm wondering what you consider the best recorded HDCD disc? The music is not the question here because that's just too subjective.
BTW another great sounding HDCD is "A Nod to Bob." This compilation disc, on Red House Records, was put together to honor Bob Dylan on his 60th birthday by the label's talent. Fabulous sound along with great songs. Enjoy.

I think that John Hammond's "Wicked Grin" (Pointblank)is also a wonderful HDCD recording... Check it out if you can!

Herve1, I agree. Hammond's disc is for me, the best sounding of this type of recording...
