I have some quality music recordings on Philips and on DG. And I have some strident music recordings on DG...older ones.
On Telarc it's missing the essence...the soul ambiance, in general and in my opinion. The music is incomplete on Telarc, I find, on average. ...From my own Telarc music collection of course. Telarc has a vast catalog, with subsidiaries, and SACDs too. They cover all music genres, from classical orchestral to jazz to blues and movie scores.
Digital is "glare" ...there is simply no two ways about it; anything that is unnatural sounds "glare". ...With a "shine" shoe polish on top, stored inside a shoe box, just too "shiny" to walk outside on the grand alley of the opera hall.
Some mat glare is more affordable, pleasance wise. ...From the ECM record label for example. ...And still retaining some presence. ...DiGitally wise.
Glare, look @ the underside of a compact disc, it's there...glare. And look with a powerful microscope, it's pits that are larger and smaller...all glaring there...unnatural binary system like computers. In comparison look @ an album under the mat (microscope), it's full of valleys and precipices...zigzagging. It looks more like The Rockies...more natural...and rough.
Propel a diamond's cut in the valleys and it'll cut everything in its path, even clouds of dust and rain and fog.
I have some digital records (analog LPs, albums) that have lots of glare as well.
@ the end it all depends, of the music recordings, the mediums, and of the art of mastering in music recordings and delivery systems. ...The artists playing, and the music they're playing. ...Their voices and the microphones used and the techniques employed.
Glare is a natural attribute of the unnatural digital medium. IMO
