Best Recording of Music

What is the best recording of music have you heard on CD, Vinyl? Not Best Music but music that has been recorded for the ultimate in playback and listening. Jazz, classical, pop, rock, etc.

Right now I am listening to the re-mastered box set, Citizen, by Steely Dan and I would have to put that at the top of my list. These guys were genius' in the care they took in how an album was recored imho.

Thank you mrpresident I will definitely pick up a copy.

As far as sgt pepper I can't disagree. The Beatles, along with their songs, had producer Sir George Martin who had much to do with their success.

Bill,

Thanks for the suggestions - Just ordered one and I will stop buy and pick up the other on my way home tonight.

Citizen, by Steely Dan and I would have to put that at the top of my list. These guys were genius' in the care they took in how an album was recored imho.

Elliot Scheiner is the man behind Steely Dan, The Eagles and others ....for the longest time he used Yamaha NS-10's which goes to show that a pure genius can work with anything and make it sing beautifully.

Sara K, Waterfalls on the German Stockfisch label, available on CD and LP. Incidentally, look out for anything from Stockfisch. Wonderful clarity, base, excellent dynamics. A great demonstration CD
