authentic space recordings

For ultimate reverb look in to the Deep Listening Band and trombonist Stuart Dempster, believe recordings were made in empty cistern and cathedral

Colin Meloy "Live"
Mark Kozelic/Son Kill Moon "Live"..stuff…

Patricia Barber "Cafe' Blue"

Donny Hathaway "Live"

Hot Tuna "Live, at the New Orleans House, Berkeley"

Steve Phillips  "Steel Rail Blues"

these are my two initial choices, more to come......

Diana Krall-Live in Paris

Here's one smaller venue and one larger:

Patricia Barber Companion -- recorded in the Green Mill bar complete with clinking glasses and silverware.

Sera Una Noche -- recorded in a large cathedral I think, at least that's what it sounds like.

Neil Young, Live at the Cellar Door
Patricia Barber, A Fortnight in France
Allison Krauss, Live

More evocative and mysterious than probably any other of their releases...The Unforgettable fire certaintly is not short on atmospherics...it was recorded in a fricikin castle!

I wish I still had my 45 rpm record that came with my JGI Joe mercury capsule. That was a real space recording.

The Bernstein Carmen with Marilyn Horne in the title role comes as close as I think a recording could to duplicate such as large space as the Met.

Madonna CD used QSound in the recording. Here is a list of some other QSound Recordings.

so how about adding a twist - on an old telarc CD, 1812 overture, there's a point where i can hear the bells of the courtyard/quad, in some cases up and behind me! there's an old madonna cd (immaculate collection) where there's stuff going on all over the place. so this is obviously digitally added in,

but the point is: how about 2 channel that sounds like surround-sound?

here are two more.

Bill Evans "Waltz For Debbie", "Sunday At The Village
Vanguard"

Tower Of Power "Live And In Living Color"

Not exactly like Norah Jones, but all will give you a wonderful recreation of
the recording space; all very different size venues. For more classical look
for any of the great Kenneth Wilkinson/Decca-London recordings. And
second Sinatra/Sands.

i'll have to check out the trinity sessions, it might be too upbeat for me at this point

Hardly. There's a reason they call themselves Cowboy JUNKIES.

thanks. i have been putting off getting jazz at the pawn shop (ironically i asked about that a few years ago, couldn't remember the name) to see if i can find a deal on it locally. otherwise i might just download it from HDtracks or Acoustic sounds.

i did find muddy waters "fold singer" at the local store today and ripped it. love the music! lots of reverb in there.

i'll have to check out the trinity sessions, it might be too upbeat for me at this point but does sound interesting.

"No Better Than This' by John Mellencamp.

Many -- perhaps most or all -- of the releases from M-A Recordings.

Try Charlie Haden and Kenny Barron, Night and the City

Sinatra - Live at the Sands

Cowboy Junkies-Trinity Sessions-Recorded in a Church.

Eva Cassidy-Live at the Blues Alley
