Audiophilia Recordings of the Year 2021

Audiophilia Recordings of the Year 2021

These are finest recordings/performances we listened to this year. We discussed some of the recordings on our social media channels, used them in equipment reviews, reviewed them on YouTube or they received full reviews at Audiophilia. For the latter and YouTube, clicking on the image will take you to the review. If not linked to YouTube or Audiophilia, we’ve linked to the recording’s home page. We have no financial affiliations with any recording company.

Format and initials of nominating reviewer appear under the selection. The CDs and LPs are available at many online or artist sites, or, as streamed on Qobuz.

For general nominations, recordings must be released or reissued in 2021. A recording receiving a full review in Audiophilia in 2021 may be nominated regardless of recording release date.
