Review title: Big power, a few glitches. Product review: I have had this recording for twenty years and have held it in top favor, but with a few minor reservations. There is an audible buzz on disc 2 which appears on other recordings of the CSO even on different labels, and Mira Zakai has more of a tremble than a vibrato in her solo work (her performace was panned by Stereo Review magazine as cold and unfeeling upon the original release). There are even points where the formidable Chicago Symphony Orchestra seems to be not "InSynch" especially in the third movement. Maestro Solti's London Symphony recording was my first initiation to this monumental work, and after purchasing many other interpretaions, the Solti recordings are the most desirable.

Question: You are considering whether to buy a product. You look at the reviews. Would the following review decrease or increase the chances of you buying the product? Review title: Naive Product review: Nancy Drew revisited. Substitute Megan, Lisa and Jennifer for Helen, Bess and George; Mimi for Hannah Gruen, and Steve Townsend for Ned Nickerson. The time line was hard to follow, possibly due to typos, and there were frequent contradictions. Family connections, vital to the plot, were unnecessarily fuzzed. The characters lacked depth, as the most interesting of them was already dead. Kelly, our "Nancy," was more tenacious about learning to knit than solving her mystery. The series has promise and may improve, but don't bother with this one, unless you want to pass it along to a 12 year old mystery buff who wants to learn to knit. The knitting patterns were way simple, but the recipe was good. How this was nominated for an Agatha I cannot imagine--must have been a slow year.
Answer: decrease

Review title: Entertaining gallery of mistakes Product review: I just attended one of Robin Netherton's lectures about the accumulation of interpretation errors in early costume research during the Victorian years -- how one author would make a mistake, and that would be picked up by another author copying the first, and more mistakes laid on (with the best of intentions.) This book was presented as one of the most entertaining of these mistakes, because although the author used the at-the-time new photo printing technologies, she didn't use it for original sources (manuscript illustrations, etc) but for pictures of contemporary models in her interpretations of medieval clothing. The results are extremely funny. I expect similar problems with the other eras covered. I am ordering this book for its humor value and because I'm a medieval hat fanatic.
