In Reply to: Naxos recordings are sonically a mixed bag; Any way to guess which releases don't have treble glare posted by Nieustevea@msn.com on March 13, 2007 at 10:21:14:
No label, in my recollections, makes digital recordings that I think are constantly superior to the norm. For there are still too many uncertainties in regard to what makes a good recording.
Follow Ups:
I'm pretty sure Telarc, Reference Recordings and Chesky would not necessarily agree (nor, perhaps, would fans of these labels).
Just like high-end gear.... Most of it isn't much better than the mainstream stuff....
...whether you're being serious or not. One COULD make a case that you don't need to go "all the way to the stratosphere" to get fantastic sound (which would mirror the audiophile label dismissal -- for example, I've got a few Naxos recordings that are SOTA (Alsop Barber). OTOH, a label like Reference Recordings is special -- almost in a catagory by itself -- and I wouldn't dismiss the idea that some labels DO get it right most of the time, and more often than others.
