To clarify, I’m not speaking about mainstream labels such as RCA, Mercury, Blue Note, etc., that spent years building superb sounding catalogs with some of the world’s leading music makers. But it would be a mistake, as well as simply unfair, to lump all audiophile labels into a single wobbly stack of LPs, CDs, and SACDs. The latter description is often attached to audiophile record labels, which, usually lacking the budget and other means to attract top talent, often present mediocre music in stunningly great sound. One speaks of appreciation, connoisseurship, a passion for great sound and the equipment that delivers it, the closest thing indeed to the absolute sound of live music-while the other seems loaded with elitism, snobbery, a specialized club for the golden-eared only, a place where sound (form) trumps music (substance).
You can see many songs like Lovesong or light music like Secret Garden, even remixed, mixed and recorded soundtrack with different quality like Besame Mucho, Have I told you lately, Vincent, Tango, Nocturne 2 (Chopin), Brave heart theme … You will feel the difference very clearly when you hear the high-pitched sounds of Tenor (Male High), Soprano (Female High) or hear the deep but very strong bass sound, the vibration of the sound when listening to saxophone, trumpet or female vocal, even the sound of a piano, breathing, gasping sounds very well and with many New Age songs it feels like I was sucked into that.The word “audiophile” has always struck me as one that carries two messages. And one thing that can be proud of our Jazz enthusiasts is that the proportion of Jazz works in these albums always accounts for 7-8 October. In an album, it always includes songs from a variety of genres, ranging from Classic, Opera, Vocal Jazz, Instrument Jazz, to New Age. It is very difficult to classify the genre specifically for these albums. Carol Kidd – When I Dream Earth Dancer – Genesis El Real de Hielo (Danzon) – Luis Conte Jack Jones – Color of the Wind Silvia Droste – Besame Mucho Tiny Harvest – Beautiful Day Naturally, there is a deep whisper asking: “What color is the wind, daddy?”, taking a few seconds of divination to realize that it’s just Jack Jones showing “Color Of The Wind”. And with the excellent recording quality, all of their performances were so real, I was shocked when I was sitting on the night listening to TAS 1998, the end of track 6, all quiet and sudden. Then what else? Bright melodious melody with Luis Conte’s hilarious whistling in “El Real de Hielo (Danzon)”, Silvia Droste’s soft vocals in “Besame Mucho” or Tiny Harvest’s relieved piano in “Beautiful Day “. And I promise that your heartbeat will accelerate with every strong beat of the Earth Dancer group in “Genesis”. How can I resist Carol Kidd’s sweet appeal in “When I dream”, how can I not beat my feet and smile when I hear Gila singing with the baby in “Clouds in the sky”.
