Title: I think the other reviewer needed a "cooling down" period
Review: ...before writing that review. The sound on these discs might not be ideal, but it is not bad enough to warrant one star. I've heard worse transfers of "historical recordings," and still found them to be quite listenable. Yes, it's true that there is quite a bit of surface noise, but once the orchestral sound rises above that, it is quite firm and clear. Yeah, the Naxos set has less surface noise, but it seems to me that the sound also has a bit more "glare," and a bit less depth, and I hear more flutter in some places.If you find the Pearl/Opal set cheap in a used CD bin, or on the Marketplace, go ahead and grab it: my personal feeling is that both it, and the Naxos, have their merits.
