Great artists, poor sound.
DG Recordings
The music I listern most are Classic and Jazz. I have been reading discussions under music for a while. I got feeling that most people don't like Deutsche Grammophon recordings. some commented that they sound good only on low-fi system or in cars. I usually don't pay much attetion to labels, as long as I like the music. After read comments here, I looked my CDs and found many of my most favorate CDs were made by DG. Examples like
Vivaldi, The 4 seasons (Gil Shaham 1995) '4D recording'
Prokofiev/Bizet/Britten (1988, 423 624-2)
Mozart, Wind Serenades K. 375 & K. 388 (1991, 115273)
Domingo, Granada (1992, 445 777-2)
Yepes, Guitarra Espanola (1983)
Anne-Sophie Mutter played Carmen Fantasy recorded in DG's $D sampler is my all time favorate.
My system may not be hi-fi, but better than BestBuy/Circuit audios. AMC CD8B, Odyssey Stratos, Mirage OM-10.
Could you stereofile guys tell me - are the CDs listed above considered crap? Do I have taste problem or hearing problem? I listerned some stereofile recordings. Mapleshade-good engineer but they don't have music I like. Reference Recordings-I'm not sure I like their style. I still believe any of the record companies can have many good recordings.
I usually make a trip to mainland China every three years and randomly buy some records. Some chinese folk song CDs sound great-clean, good stereo image, very involving. But I cannot even trace the record companies. They may stay for only a short period of time.
