Title: Home-made recording at home!?
Product review: Dreadful, dreadful... just dreadful. Despite the superbly interesting programme, the performance is dull, and uninspired. The recording quality sounds as if you just placed two Radio-Shack microphones in each of the pianos, recorded on a portable, cassette Walkman. The instruments used in the recording may be Steinways, but it is doubtful that quality instruments were used. The entire album sounds like they were recorded on old, unmaintained baby grands, probably model M, instead of finer, larger instruments. The acoustic environment resembles a small, carpetted living room where no reverberation could possibly take place. The sense of harsh, mediocre sound as if my head is stuck in the pianos, with the uninspired performance of these magnificent work is an impressive display of misguided amateurism that deserves to be confined to the same living room where the recording was probalby made.
