The most beautiful song in Lou Reed's The Raven
But also the work of the recording engineer according to Jim Anderson, who wrote a nice article about this for Stereophile.
I quote the last paragraph: "With my listener hat on, a great recording is one that, as I listen to it, I'm not aware of any recording technology. I don't want to listen to microphone placement, panning, reverb, compression, or equalization. I want to listen to music. My engineering success depends upon not letting you hear my struggles in the recording. I'd be happy if, in attempting to describe a recording's sound, you find yourself at a loss for words. My goal as a recording engineer is to disappear."
Certainly a very interesting perspective on sound quality.
