It's always fun to discover new music through lists like this, I'm going to check them all out (and probably buy some). Great, thanks. My contribution to Record (albums) 2 live 4:
Seventeen Seconds
by The Cure
My all time favorite, this album has, and by far, the most listening hours. On this album I know every micro detail. Perhaps not the best recorded album ever, but still good (enough) after all these years.
Jeroen van Veen : Arvo Pärt: Für Anna Maria, Complete Piano Music
performed by Jeroen Van Veen
(the 44/16 version) Great music of course by Arvo Pärt, even better recorded, a reference album
WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP, WHERE DO WE GO?
by Billie Eilish
A different kind than above but I repeat great music, even better recorded, a reference album
Getz/Gilberto
by Stan Getz
I hesitated between this and the other cliche (but therefore no less good, and why it is a cliche) classic one Kind Of Blue by Miles Davis. But Getz/Gilberto is so careless "what can happen to us" recorded, sometimes I need that to relax. Then the sigar (no, I don't smoke) and that glass of port are not necessary.
La Mode
by Yannis Kyriakides,Tomoko Mukaiyama
For when you want to be carried away by wonder with beautiful music / sounds and a perfect recording.
The Dutch Radio Recordings
by The Sound
Here you feel (best) the true emotion of a live concert, and then the anger and indignation (read aggression) of the early eighties. For a live concert recorded in a small venue somewhere in the early eighties by a small, relatively unknown new wave (/ alternative rock) band, this is also a great album in terms of recording technique.
