Review title: Ridiculous Recording
Product review: I suspect that this is a very good performance, but I'm not sure, because the recording gets in the way of the music. For one thing (and this is my most serious complaint), artificial vibrato was added (via some sort of electronic tweeking), and seems present on all climaxes involving strings and/or woodwinds. I consider it to be a cardinal sin to artifically alter recorded music, and this recording is the worst case I can think of. My other complaint is the placement of the microphones. The various instrument groups are spotlighted, especially the woodwinds.Am I the only one who noticed the artificial vibrato? I know it's not my imagination. Why can't people hear these things? I suspect many people "listen" to music, but don't really listen.Btw, my favorite recording of this piece is with Barbirolli and the BPO. The sound is ok, and the interpretation is very special.
