I find that some of the smaller labels often have the best recordings: Alia Vox, Reference, Two-L, Gimmel, BIS, etc. The only downside is that the smaller labels tend to have focused interests. The Arkivmusic website collates reviews and recommendations of most recordings. It is a good resource.
Recommended CD's for classical good recording ?
HI,
I have been checking around and purchasing CD's (I am getting more and more into classical music) but several of the recommended classic recordings were done back in the 40's and 50's, and don't sound all that dynamic in my system. They are somewhat flat and 1-dimensional. Perhaps they are better on vinyl? Most of the best recordings I have were recorded either recently or back in the 70's.
What are some good recordings to seek out? There is a good classical music store nearby
