Label: Chesky Records 2023

"I produced the first Ultimate Demonstration Disc in 1995, and it went on to be a huge success. It caught on with audiophiles, especially those who read audiophile magazines like "Stereophile" and "The Absolute Sound," but didn't fully understand the lexicon of sound. Audiophile reviewers use words like "transparent" and "soundstage depth" all the time, but rarely describe exactly what the words mean. With the original and now this new UDD I spell out what to listen for on each tune. And since Chesky recordings are made by and for audiophiles the entire recording chain – the microphones, mic preamps, mixer, and analog-to-digital converter – is custom built to high-end standards.

Right from the start Chesky Records had a sound. David Chesky set out to make “aural photographs” of each session, capturing as much of the sound of being there as the technology allowed, continually pushing it forward. Every note of every session was recorded “live,” there were no overdubs, no fixing it in the mix.

Music is multifarious and transcends all lingual and cultural borders. Anyone who loves music wants not just to hear it, but to experience it: authentically, naturally and dynamically. As a musician or a music enthusiast – people all around the world are united by music. This is the message of ‘The Pinnacle Of Chesky Voice’. The soulful voices of fourteen artists are demonstrating how passionate, authentic, natural and lively songs can be presented.
