Review title: I Beg To Disagree
Product review: I ordered the Davis/Elgar on the basis of the reviews posted here, but I'm sorry to say that this recording was a major disappointment. I love the work and own recordings by Slatkin, Boult, and Mackerras. As a performance the Davis certainly impresses, but the recording quality of my copy does not reflect the praise showered by other reviewers of this CD. In the first movement the left channel has an intermittent rasp in the strings that sounds like some sort of acoustical problem with the recording venue. The Adagio is marred by audible conversations, I assume from the audience, and the finale is punctuated by what sound like noisemakers from the hall. I'd buy a studio recording by this ensemble, but I cannot recommend the recording I received. Sorry.
