Title: Too much knob-twisting in the booth
Review: This emotionally bland requiem (compare to the old Phila/Ormandy recording with Cesare Valletti to see what I mean) is ruined for me by the Sanctus -- beautifully sung by John Aler, but wrecked by the addition of a truly offensive amount of echo. Let there be a special fate for engineers who ruin recordings. I propose a special room full of knobs, meters, and slide controls, with soft background music playing. The room is locked. Everytime any control is moved in any way, the music gets louder. But I digress.
