Title: Marvelous performance, lousy remastering
Review: Monteux and the CSO give the best recording I have heard of the Franck symphony-- it is justly famous. However, the remastering is awful. I have compared this cd with an earlier cd issue from the library and this new remastering has removed the power and fullness of the music. Some new detail emerges in this remastering but the price is too high. I have found the same problem with other RCA "Living Sterio" discs like the Reiner/CSO recording of Also Sprach Zarathustra or the Pines of Rome. My advice is to look for older used cds with these recordings.
Is the review positive or negative?
