Title: Good But James Levine's Is Better
Review: I have compaired this recording against James Levine and the Chicago Symphony Chorus & Orchestra DDD recording and much prefer the latter. To my ear, I prefer the sound from the middle of row 6 in the Orchestra to SRO in the back of a very large auditorium. Specifically the Previn recording sounds muted. Aditionally, the pace of the Previn recording is often too slow. The Levine recording shows the brilliant clarity of a full digital which can be off putting for some, but in this performance is quite stunning. If I did not have Levine's recording to compare against, I would have happily given Previn's a 5 rating.
