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.
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.
