Title: Not a stellar recording at all.
Product review: I got excited when I saw this cd and bought it. I thought, if it has Robert King it must be good. The playing is virtuosic but somehow lackluster. It doesn't have the elegance of old-fashioned recordings, nor the rich authentic sound of today's recordings. The accompaniment is somehow completely blurred and all I really can follow distinctly is the solo line. While technically precise, the solo playing is not very creative. Sometimes the true sound of the authentic instruments shines, as in the concerto "La Notte," but for the most they just sound fuzzy and distant.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
