Ultimately, we listen to music to be moved, for example, to be elated, exulted, calmed or pained. Which are the 3 most affecting pieces of music do you find the most affecting?
Sibelius, what about your own concerto for violin? C. Ferras/Karajan, for example? Also, if M. Solemnis would you accept Brahms Deutsche Requiem? (Klemperer, maybe) Cheers!
http://www.harmoniamundi.com/hmUS/homeus.asp I first listened to the Boston Camerata's "Musee Judeo Baroque by Salaman Rossi" on this label. This was before I had an audiophile hardware budget. I wasn't even a classical music fan then you see. But the sheer beauty of the music did something to my ears. For some reason, I kept turning to this particular CD. All I can say is that "warmth, liquid mid range" etc comes from the recording and not from $2000 wires.
The Audio Critic magazine said they were in "awe" of this label and I agree. Sound quality is better than on 24/96 and even HDCD or SACD recordings - even on their old recordings. Must be superior sound engineers?
Then they started a budget label ($5.98/disk) called clasicalexpress.com
Check out their sampler for $2.98 at : http://www.classicalexpress.com/sampler.htm
