Karajan conducts Brahms Symphony #1. Vienna Philharmonic. RCA Victor Red Seal (Shaded Dog) 1959 mono

incredible.
You can't go wrong with Colombia Masterworks and RCA Red Seal mono.

I’m tellin ya, I really didn’t think I could enjoy mono as much as I have this evening. A decent mono set-up, and good recordings, can rival (some) stereo. Usually I want to move on and dig back into the stereo selections, but this has been fun.

Sugar Hill 2016

This is one you want on vinyl. Roomful of rich sound. Harmonics and voice timbres dancing off the walls and ceiling in watery traces. What a voice. Great recording.
