The Good Stuff


There are simply two kinds of music, good music and the other kind ... the only yardstick by which the result should be judged is simply that of how it sounds. If it sounds good it's successful; if it doesn't it has failed. --  Duke Ellington

This purpose of this thread is to provide a place to post outstanding examples of the Good Music.

My CD has a different cover art, but it is the same album.

Regarding tone vs. intonation -- as frogman sez....The most lucid analysis I've come across, too.

@bigtwin -- Hey, I've got that Sinatra box set on French LPs. Gorgeous pressings. Titled "Swinging, Sexy, Sinatra."

Try "The Dance at the Gym" from the Spielberg West Side Story soundtrack. On Qobuz. It never fails to get me out of my listening chair and dancing around like a wild man..

Florence Price's symphonies. I know I've mentioned her name before on this website, but right now I'm on Idagio, streaming performances of her First and Third Symphonies and truly lovin' 'em.  She's an African-American composer who was active during the first half of the 20th Century. Aaron Copland-esque. Tuneful. Big. Truly excellent sound quality.  If DG recordings always sounded this spacious, dynamic and sweet I'd be the happiest guy on the planet.
