In Reply to: That a high quality recording = good sound! posted by Don Till on February 22, 2010 at 20:25:06:
I will agree that musical enjoyment is independent from recording quality. I like listening to early 60s Astrud Gilberto's music where the recordings are arguably thin and early stereo ping-pongy. There's no notion of myth involved. I have a number of exceptionally realistic sounding Sheffield recordings, for example, but enjoy the musical content with only two of them.
Regarding Diana Krall, I purchased one of her albums after hearing a lot of buzz about her. Well, that remains my only recording of hers and it gets played very infrequently.
