Eva Cassidy was an American singer and musician known for her interpretations of jazz, folk, and blues music with a powerful, emotive soprano voice.
Some of her most enchanting songs, such as "Fields of Gold" and "Autumn Leaves," possess a magical and soothing quality, yet they are brimming with emotion, particularly when experienced through the vinyl versions included in the box set. In this edition, her voice retains its exquisite smoothness, free from any harshness and rendered with beautiful smooth transients.
When compared to what you can hear on streaming or on most CDs, the effects of compression and peak limiting become readily apparent. They lack the silky smoothness found in the vinyl box set.
Below, you'll find the recommended versions of those albums.
