List of 5 star albums - your opinions...


Recommended Posts

What do you all consider to be a five star album, where most every song is very good or excellent, AND the recording is audiophile quality as well? 

 

I'll start:

Band On The Run, Paul McCartney, released 1973  (This recording is good enough to demo your system.)

 

There are certainly others, but this album came to mind first.

I also have Blu-ray audio/video box sets of symphonies by Brahms, Bruckner, Schumann, and Mahler.

 
Plus numerous other classical concerts on Blu-ray.

 
Plus numerous modern opera and ballet audio/video recordings on Blu-ray.  

 

And a few in Ultra HD Blu-ray.   (Plus many excellent quality audio-only surround-sound recordings on SACD, and Pure Audio Blu-ray.)


After experiencing modern audio/video concert recordings that feature high-def video, and hi-res audio featuring surround-sound (played via my vintage tube amps, Klipsch RF-7II speakers, plus 2 powered subwoofers), I greatly prefer this to listening to CDs.
