It can be hard to separate great performances from great recordings, but here is a short list attempting to be as objective as possible and not simply name my favorites:Jazz- Shirley Horn's You Won't Forget Me
World- Bakithi Kumalo's San Bonan (also a rare HDCD title)
Classical- I have never played classical nor am I a huge fan, but Bach's 6 Suites for Solo Cello as played by Pierre Fournier (Polygram records) is nothing short of brilliant. There are a few different versions of the cello suites and while Bach fans all have their favorite, Fournier's rendition is (to me) the gold standard. The performance is flawless and the recording is superb. The cello is warm and woody yet not bloated and transient attacks are preserved in the recording. Hard not to recommend this one.
Lastly, Stereophile CDs are masterfully recorded. Very dynamic and *live* sounding. They record some of their own, but also feature cuts from quality labels (like Chesky and Reference Recordings.) Excellent liner notes and test tones to boot.
I hope this is useful to you.
