I agree about the chesky stuff. Petrouchka on chesky is amazing as well. Beethoven Cycle, Sir Adrian Boult Concert favorites all recorded by the great Kenneth Wilkinson. Beethoven's Seventh is amazing and Night on Bald Mountain found on Sir Adrian Boults Concert favorites is incredible on CD. The lp analog version is reference quality and is actually taken off of A festival of Light Classical Music from Readers Digest Collection, also, insanely good.
Do classical CDs made from early analog tapes sound better on your system than new CDs?
I find that classical CDs produced from analog recordings originally made in the late 50’s and early 60’s really make my system sing, and, by far, give me the best sound staging over most modern recordings. This is especially true in those produced in the pre-Dolby era. The overtones are just there in abundance and the space is endless and real.
I’m wondering if others have that experience.
