Title: Timpani anyone?
Review: I've rarely heard such poor sound engineering in all my life. The entire piece is absolutely dominated by the overpowering timpani, leaving the rest of the ensamble struggling just to be heard. The soprano is fair at best, the conducting is adequate, and the orchestra is all right. If it weren't for the damn timpani, I could bare this $4 recording, but having recently bought Robert Shaw's on Telarc, I simply cannot justify buying this recording even at the attractive price.
