After becoming hooked on Naims ability to open old songs that sound new again, I thought it would be a really interesting experience/thread to try and catalogue specific pieces of music from any genre that community members believe exemplify the Naim experience best.
In other words if you wanted to audition a Naim system to its fullest potential which piece of music would do this best? If we end up with hundreds of inputs but find a top 50 it would be a beautiful packaging of world best compositions for members to have when trialling upgrades - or just wanting a favourite 50.
I’m happy to start with an unusual composition that arguably became commercially famous for Bo Derek and Dudley Moore…enough said. - Bolero. The group playing this classic to a sensational contemporary style with electronic piano, trumpets horns and clarinets is Pink Martini in their Sympathique 20th anniversary album. On Tidal and Cd etc. Sound stage, instrument positioning, crescendo and Prat is really incredibly exciting and a perfect demo piece.
Interested to have input from the Zen community masters without apologising for taste and musical preference - just unadulterated musical excellence. Go for gold 2022
