My Red Dot Glows For You
Well, you have the gear, so put it to the test:
If you can get a copy (it's a CD, sorry) of Beethoven's 9th Symphony, conducted by Christoph von Dohnányi. Telarc.
It was recorded during the shaky years of digital recording, but this gave "digital" hope. But the interpretation is superb, and you can hear every single section of the orchestra, including the chorus; unlike with Herbert von Karajan's recordings, where they're sent to the kitchen to sing from there.

I like tubes.
For music, I listen to a lot of modern stuff, but I am also a big fan of classical music. I lean more towards chamber music than symphonies. My favorites are Bach for his cello suites, the well-tempered clavier and most of his secular music (though his masses are great as well); I love Shostakovich, particularly his later string quartets (8 and up, but especially 8 and 15) and the sonata from op 134. I have a vinyl of him playing his preludes and fugues which is superb. I also love Debussy, Ravel, Bartok's quartets and Kodaly's sonata for cello and his duo for cello and piano...the Starker and Josef Gingold recording is magnificent.

Not all of it is "cat tuning"Gabriel M.A. said:
I'm no expert, but family friend Jane Gower (a quick google turned up this for example) maintains with some very audible evidence that music written for the bassoon, back in the day, sounds a lot better on the instruments of the day than on the modern bassoon (and sounds good in an absolute sense as well)....Mike
