"It’s rare to find an album recorded with an audiophile process that’s musically compelling. Barry Diament has struck the balance consistently on his Soundkeeper Recordings label."
- Tom Fine in the June 2022 issue of Stereophile

"Such a pleasure! A recording label for country, bluegrass, pop, world and other acoustic musicians that truly brings the listener into the presence of the live performance... This is the way acoustic music should be heard... If your goal is to enjoy hearing the musicians as if in the presence a live performance, to experience the energy that only live performances create, then you should explore the recordings Barry Diament is making at Soundkeeper Recordings... Let me encourage you to explore the Soundkeeper Recordings catalog. In addition to the most recent The Twain Shall Meet, there are six more. If you value recordings that bring the live performers into your listening space, take a listen to any of the albums with music you might enjoy. I know you'll enjoy the sound quality. Given Barry Diament's tastes, it's likely you'll enjoy the musicians as well…These results are simply exceptionally good and not often heard in recordings of these genres. Well done, Barry Diament. More power to you. I look forward to hearing your next recording venture."

"Stunning clarity and realism.  The way recordings should sound."
- Mark Tobak, Audio Alternative

"Diament’s skillful techniques consistently produce recordings that are unequalled in their capture of the natural breathe of instruments and vocals and how they light up the airy confines of their acoustic spaces."

"The protection of recorded art that draws you in and holds your spirit – that’s what I’ve found listening to Barry Diament’s series of recordings... Artisan recorded art for music fan and audiophile, captured by an audiophile master masterer!... There’s an immediate sense of the space, with natural dynamics... All of Barry’s principles and technique are plainly discernable in the intimacy and naturalness of the sound... Add the careful attention to the provenance of each performance, and here we have a growing collection of select curated art."

"Mr. Diament is a master at producing true real stereo recordings, with no dynamic compression while keeping everything as close as possible to the real live event."
- From Lucio Cadeddu's review of Winds of Change at TNT-Audio.

"Soundkeeper is that special record label where every performance is captured with a feeling of vitality and natural energy; every recording feels as if it is lit from within with a natural illumination that shines into every nook and cranny of the music to reveal its every texture, detail and the artistry of the musicians involved."

"These are among the finest recordings I have..."

"I've been playing nothing but Soundkeeper Recordings disks today. East coast engineering maven Barry Diament captures the illusion of life on each and every disk. It's a small catalog (4 so far) but each one unique. The best thing is that your system doesn't have to be world-class for the illusion to work. Even on my desktop system (vintage tubed Fisher 500C and small Rogers LS3/5a monitors), it's like YOU ARE THERE. I know Barry likes to record in a pure way, nothing close-miked and NO limiting, compression or outboard EQ to get in the way of the natural dynamics of the sound. Too bad all the records of the world aren't recorded this way! Start with the fab Equinox by Markus Schwartz & Lakou Brooklyn and move on to Paul Beaudry & Pathways Americas. Then try Jason Vitelli's Confluence and Work Of Art Lift. Try 'em, trust Steve, you'll really be in music heaven."
- Steve Hoffman, Mastering Engineer

"Critical point...you have to let this sound reset your ears because you have never heard it recorded and reality will sound foreign. In a famous experiment a group of people wore prismatic glasses which turned the world upside down. After a few weeks this became normal and when they took the glasses off the world seemed inverted. This is what listening to Soundkeeper Recordings is like - it will turn your world back right side up."
- Lawrence de Martin
