Thread Starter |  I've asked this before, but what are your "reference" cds I have found it exceedingly difficult(especially these days) to encounter recordings that have *both* wonderful sound and fantastic performances. I am curious as to which CDs in your collection(or otherwise!) fill both requirements? There was a thread on this very subject on recording.org, but it seems to have disappeared.

 | For flute works, which I find the most challenging since I am most critical of it, I like everything I've heard from Emmanuel Pahud. My favorite CD though is apparently out of print because I can't find it. |

 | As i have a liking for the "king of instruments", I have found that AEOLUS are making simple, but very effective recordings of the pipe organ in europe, as are JAV recordings in the USA, and Priory records, here in the UK Peter |

| I use the Ultrasone test CD, Little Feat's "Last Record Album" , Don Cherry's Dona Nostra, Paul Winter's "Canyon" Tony DeMarco's "Sligo Indians" and Hillary Hahn's "Paganini & Spohr: Violin Concertos." These give me a pretty good idea of what a room sounds like and pretty much cover anything I'm likely to work on. Danny |
