Title: simply impressive
Review: let me just start out in saying that this recording is amazing. The other reviewer is correct in saying that it is a little overwhelming at first, but as a real lover of music, DVD-A really brings out this piece, i cannot wait to get some of the other in the series. It is true about the performers needing to watch what they do. throught this recording i kept hearing an ever so slight on tap "tapping" sound every once in a while. after hearing it the 4th or 5th time, all i could come up with is one of the singers coughing, but it is definitely coming from the performers. that is how detailed the recording is.My only issue, is that there is little to no respectable low end tones in the whole recording. When the kettle drums crash, it isn't the pop and earth shattering rumble that i am used to. this is the reason i cannot give this disk 5 stars. other than that, it is a truely amazing disk. For people who can respect and appreciate better quality masterings this is the format for you.
