I'm sure between the lot of us - we've heard some exceptional recordings - amazing production value that really tries to do justice to dynamics and space across the instruments (and vocals), and you can find the music able to breathe and have body. This thread is less about your favourite bands/ music, and more about where the music really shines through due to great production/ recording method.
Would love to have this thread grow with inputs from the community.
Please reply with the albums that you find are exceptional from a production standpoint - format you're listening in, bit rate/ sampling, and a few lines about what production elements really stands out to you.
Michel Godard - A Trace of Grace
Starting off - in my collection, the absolutely most amazing sounding record without doubt is Michel Godard's "A trace of grace" .... it's a tribute to Monteverdi with a jazz meets baroque. The Ensemble instruments comprise of the Serpent, bass, violin, saxophone amongst other instruments. Recorded in the Noirlac Abbey in France - there's so much space for the music to breathe - unbelievable. Every instrument has a massive amount of space, and incredible fidelity from the lowest impact strums to the great attacks from the saxophone & serpent. I've heard some Chesky recordings, but this is in another league in terms of recording excellence.
Granted the musical complexity is low - but oh how I wish more recordings were given such due care!
I've been playing an HDTracks download at 24bit/ 192kHz. Must listen to tracks - Roma, A trace of grace
