Title: Early digital, weird sound
Review: Others complain that the levels on this 1987 disc are too wide, and I agree. However, with a higher quality system, the somewhat primitive digital recording isn't so much of a problem. I turn this about one-quarter of the way up and that's fine to catch the very dark, low opening notes, and doesn't assault one's ears when the blasting louder portions occur. There is one point in the second movement when my speakers do seem to rattle, and not on purpose. I have British-made Meridian loudspeakers that are top quality. The performance here overall is magnificent. Some like the Griffiths version of the Lark, but I prefer a performance by Sarah Chang.
