Title: Dry acoustic diminishes these recordings
Review: Unfortuntately, this recording is an example of 1960s sound engineering at its worst. The instruments are miked so closely and the sound is so bone-dry that the performances can scarcely be enjoyed. It's as if the quartet is sitting in a small room with those noise-reduction panels lining the walls, ceiling and floor.I recommend listeners look elsewhere -- there are plenty of recordings to choose from for these great pieces.
