Title: An apocalyptic reading of Ecstasy!!!
Product review: This disc includes Mravinsky's 1958 monoral recording of Poem of Ecstasy, the incredibly powerful and incandescent account which surpasses even Svetlanov's BBC Legend recording. Very good monoral recording, but only downside is that recording engineers made unforgivable mistake to adjust recording level too high from the start, then suddenly turning the level down to contain the massive climax. So the climax is really anti-climax as far as the recording quality is concerned. Only way to solve this problem is to record this on your MD or re-writable CD while adjusting recording level very low from the start and put it at highest level towards the climax. Then, Mravinsky's intention, to create the truly apocalyptic ending to this extraordinary work, is fully realized.
