Title: Good performance, but.....
Product review: Ansermet's Handel is, I sure, beautifully drawn and the playing of the Decca Strings (surely a pick-up group) is quite lovely, but damned if I can hear much of it. Though the recording boasts a good bass foundation, all of the soft passages are swallowed up by the horrendous amount of surface noise that was left by transfer engineer, Seth Winner.I have high esteem for the bulk of Mr. Winner's work on historical recordings, but this one is just too noisy for me. I have not heard the Lys issue of these performances, but perhaps it would be best to seek that one out.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
