Title: Poor Performances
Review: This excellent music is presented in marginal and harsh-sounding performances by the City of Prague Philharmonic. The Glory and Getteysburg balances are way off...the orchestra (and chorus especially) has no clue as to the blend or effect required for these wonderful pieces of music (where is the boy's choir??)Percussion is often wooden and too close to the front soundstage.There are far better renditions of most of this music available..although not in one collection. (See Telarc's Victory at Sea and some of the London reissues of film music).
Is the review positive or negative?
