Review title: A Big Caveat
Product review: In general I agree with both the prior reviewers as to the value of the CD to Stravinsky collectors.However, neither mentions a really big problem. The sounds quality resembles what you would get by throwing a couple of wet blankets over the microphones, or maybe moving the mikes out to the lobby.The disk originates from 1996. DG was useing something they called "4D" DDD recording technology. Thankfuly it died a quick and well deserved death.If you can put up with something that sounds like average mid 1950 mono quality only in stereo, you are good to go. Otherwise I suggest trying to get a cheap version from an Amazon merchant.Worth having for Stravinskians for the reasons other reviewers have stated, but be aware of what you're getting. Revier GD calls "the 1945 Firebird suite well worth hearing if lacking just a little in color and magic." I agree. But the color and magic is missing because of the sound problems.The 2 stars are for the really poor quality, otherwise 4 stars.
