Leahy: Lakefield
All albums from Acoustic Alchemy, Jesse CookVocals from Loreena McKennitt, Sarah McLachlan(not all tracks though so be careful), Sade, Norah Jones, Diana Krall, Madonna albums are well recorded.
But Leahy has very fast fiddle/violin work which is complex...a lot of speakers turn it to a big mess.
Patricia Barber's Jazz album "Cafe Blue" has several drum solos(the cymbols you're after) and is impecably recorded.
