In Reply to: Classical CDs - inspired by CD $$ post on General Forum posted by psgary on May 20, 2002 at 22:45:43:
Well, you cut me off from my first (and always) suggestion, which is to go vinyl. But anyway, I agree with SE that there are some excellent classical cds, would add to the list: Dorian, some Chandos, and any of the cd reissues of the great Living Stereo and Living Presence golden age recordings. These were really well done.There are those who hold that the kind of "up close" recording that provides a well defined soundstage is not, in an orchestral setting, a natural or realistic representation of the "absolute sound" as you would hear at a live symphony concert. In other words, when I am sitting even fairly close to a live symphony--say row 10--I don't really hear a sharp "soundstage" division among the instruments (ie: can't close my eyes and point to EXACTLY where violins #1 end and violins #2 begin, or EXACTLY where violas end and cellos begin...)
Nonetheless, I do enjoy those up close recordings. I like to imagine that this is if fact the absolute sound, maybe from the conductor's point of view.
