Recording quality of Dorian?

I have never been disappointed by the quality of Dorian CD's. Apart from the ones you mentioned, which are more focused on audiophile issues, as opposed to musical performances, Dorian has excellent performances as well as sonics. I put them in the same category as Hyperion, Bis, Harmonia Mundi, Delos, and some others.

Absolutely agree with Newbee. Dorian has been one of the "audiophile" labels for a long time in terms of their sonics, and their smaller ensemble recordings from the acoustic gem called the Troy Music Hall, which is the town where they are or were originally headquartered, are among the best you'll ever hear. The ensembles and artists they record are top-notch musicians too--one of them, the New York Kammermusic ensemble, often performs in the lobby of my building, and I will always take time out from my day to hear them play. They have recently merged with Reference Recordings; I'd say that it is not a step down for either of those companies.

I think they are good, but I will not put them in the same
