Which recordings from DG are those? HerbieThis set is spectacular.
did (at least) two of the complete cycle. I have the early collection (on rekkids) which I quite like -- from the early/mid 1960s, IIRC
(rando internet image, but this is the set of which I speak)
The later cycle, again IIRC, was recorded maybe in the late 1970s, and perhaps digitally(??).

@mhardy6647 The ones from the 1960's.
Just replayed the Pastoral last night from them. Marvelous. -
Thank you to all for the YELLO information. Good stuff for sure. Happy New Year!
Yello have been around a long time, and this may sound familiar from 40 years ago...

The Flaming Lips...dynamic and jarring. They do put effort into their recordings...

Yeah, I like that set, too. Recommended to me at Record & Tape Collector, (more or less) right across from Soundscape in Roland Park... a long time ago.
That was a great little spot in those days: Soundscape, Record & Tape Collector, Jay's Smoke Shop (I would puff the occasional cigar in those long-ago times), and Alonso's. And a gas station, one at which I don't think I ever got gas for the ol' Bronco.

Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.
Not actually written or said by Siggy, but attributed to him, it appears, in 1950 in the journal Psychiatry. -

Who is "the ol' Bronco"?

Sooooo.....years ago I found this album. I don't remember how but I think I mentioned it before on Club Polk so a quick search would probably turn it up.
But, this guy, Jonathan Elias, he's an American composer and he has tons of stuff out there but this album of his...the best way to describe it is he paints with music. The music is evocative and imaginative but he clearly tries to tell a story with it.
However, this album has some of the widest dynamic ranges from a singular piano plinking out a tune that slowly crescendos into full blown orchestral arrangements and then back to a single instrument. It's quiet, it's booming, it's detailed, it's subtle, it's pronounced and every nuance to it is an experience.
Very few albums impressed me like this one did. It's beautifully mastered too but it is very hard to find. The best I can give you right now is the Topic channel for Jonathan Elias.
The best comparison I can make is Aaron Copeland's "Rodeo" ballet/symphony. Same kind of range in both frequency and dynamics, same kind of compositional style and same kind of energy influences to the music. The album has a theme and it's present throughout.
Artist: Jonathan Elias
Album: American River
Best tracks:
1 - At The Edge
5 - Crossing Rivers
10 - Towards Home
11 - The Great Divide

I still use this as a test album because it will expose sibilance and it will expose crossover network holes.
