Title: great music-bad engineering
Product review: The engineers at Sony have used the finest technology available today to ruin some of the best recordings of some of the best performances of some of the best music ever written.Across all twelve disks there is a piercing digital distortion in the mid-frequency range. Between about 2,000 and 8,000 cycles per second a nasty ring comes out and bites your ears off. it is so bad that some notes jump right out of the mix as if their volume were twice that of notes in other ranges. this is a real heart-break to me as I love these recordings. I do believe they represent the finest achievement of Murray Perahia's career. If you have the ability to re-equalize these recordings the offending frequencies can be lowered and this will make the listening tolerable.One should never have to do this. i believe that Sony is contributing to the disabled of Japan by hiring only deaf engineers.
