Fellow listeners,
I am demoing a considerable number of speakers and trying to put together some tracks for classical music comparison. Just for kicks, I started with Eine Kleine Nacht Musik because it is so recognizable. Then I chose Sir Neville Mariner and his Academy of St. martin in the Fields orchestra based on reputation. Needless to say, there were multiple entries and I chose
and
The Philips recording is far superior to the EMI. It has a greater sense of scale, and clarity, but really displays the room/local/hall in which it was recorded.
So are there some tips for knowing which labels to choose, which composers, which orchestras etc. OR how to better enter the search terms on Tidal. I do realize Tidal has some catalogue issues with Classical and I know what I am asking can't be easy to explain without having years of experience with Classical, but especially hunting for it on Tidal.
