World's Greatest Audiophile Vocal Recordings
by Various Artists
from Chesky Records

Features:

• SACD

Customer Reviews:

• Avg. Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0

• Misleading Track/Artist Listing
  Beware - the Amazon track listing lists the song writers, not the artists. For instance 'Isn't She Lovely' lists Stevie Wonder but on the CD the song is sung by Livingston Taylor - not a bad rendition but not what I was expecting.
  This is a Chesky label compilation (sp?) CD. Title should be "World's Greatist Audophile Vocal Recordings On Our Label"
  I should return the CD but don't feel like going to the trouble.

• pure crystal
  When I bought this sacd by Chesky recording it really opened my ears.This disc is in two channel only.Not multichannel.But the stereo sound is so real in the room when you hear the vocals from these artists. Very moving and touching when listening. How pure can a stereo sacd can be?I would say that Chesky records did a great job making this two channel format. I would truly recomend this. Theres a true variety of music on this. good jazz vocal,some vocals have good sounding strings in the backround.If any... more info

• Wow, wow, WOW!
  I'm not really an audiophile, but I set up a new system including a Super Audio CD player, and have purchased a bunch of SACD's. This is my favorite! Absolutely crystal clear. I camped out in front of my stereo for an hour just listening to this. A really great collection of songs. The other reviewer is right about "Spanish Harlem." Her voice just gets right to me, all the way down inside.

• Audiophile moments
  This recording sounds great in SACD - multichannel as well as in an ordinary CD-player. The hair on my arms rises when I hear the voice of Rebecca Pidgeon singing Spanish Harlem on this record. There are several amazing vocals here. The record is also perfect for testing your Speakers and hardware. The base on this recording is amazing. Also here it's the recording of Spanish Harlem that puts the gear to a test. You will love the sound of this record.
