Title: Only those with hearing disability would accept this EMI recording ...
Review: How anyone with good hearing and with a half-decent playback system, (CD player, Amps, Speakers) could "enjoy" this EMI recording, or give them a serious consideration - is beyond me and probably beyond anyone who claims to have a decent pair of ears:In order to enjoy what Rattle and the orchestra are doing, one have to discern what he or she is hearing. Though some of rattle's recording with this orchestra, same hall, are acceptable (no more than that), here, with this EMI sound engineering it is impossible.The sound comes from farther than mid-hall, it is drawn in excessive reverberation, mist, fog...What a waste of what could have been an interesting reading by Mr. Rattle...Go figure out what possessed the sound engineering of this CD. It's a joke.
