For me first off must be a live recording. For evaluating space and endowment Stan Getz Live in Stockholm. Sinatra Live at the Sands as well.
For bass Joey D Live at theFive Spot. Dynamics Joe Digradi at the Columns live,
For imaging almost any live Opera.For tonality and harmonic structure Piano and violin. Midori Live at Carnegie Hall.
I believe that if a piano and violin is properly reproduced ALL will sound right. Your thoughts ??
