Tannoy put together a fairly lengthy "Ultimate Playlist" for this year. Several of the recordings will be familiar to many of you, but you might find some new gems as well. I really like the way it's laid out into various categories, some by genre and some by sound categories.
Haven't gone through it all yet, but I figured it was worth sharing. It's in a PDF which is a little annoying, but they said they wanted a complete list, and not every song is on every platform.

Nice, thanks for the share. Psyched that there's a solid showing of electronic music included, with a lot of artists that I recognize and am already a fan of.

I thought it was cool that they dedicated a whole section to electronic. Good audiophile gear does showcase electronic music in a new light that a lot of people don't even know exists. I think I'll eventually make a playlist with as many of these as I can find. I wish more companies were doing these. I wouldn't mind new lists every year from every company. Feels like low hanging marketing fruit to me.Nice, thanks for the share.

Last year I read a really well done book called: The Great British Recording Studios which described in great detail the equipment used in each famous English studio and the overwhelming speaker of choice were Tannoy Monitors. In fact speakers are called "tannoys" in Britain just as vacuum cleaners are called "hoovers". If the music was recorded in England during the '50's, '60's or '70's you can believe it was listened to on Tannoy dual concentric monitor speakers, such as the Monitor Gold or Monitor Red mounted in custom cabinets.
For example:

Thanks for sharing that!
That's a weird list,though -- being a hodgepodge of albums, specific tracks, and then some generic references to pieces of music.
To wit:
e.g., I have some pretty bad recordings and performances of 1812 Overture in the basement.
It's rife with typos, too(?!) -- unless there (e.g.) is a Bosten Symphony Orchestra that's really, really good!

Ah, the "enigman variations" kind of a mysterious super hero?

It got it's own section, but it also shows up in the other sections which I appreciate.
And yeah I noticed how sometimes it was individual tracks and other times albums. Oh well.
Regarding the typos, there's not really any excuse for not using spell check. Amateurish move from a marketing perspective. -

My old maths teacher, who is now the head, said the same thing about "biro" when we were eating our tea once. x -
