Negative Positive
Title: Oddly I had the opposite experience than previous reviewer
Review: My wife has a version of the "Emperor" by the LSO and Kovacevich and I had bought this. We did a comparison today. We both loved the Kovacevich version but the recording had a very high noise floor, however the instruments sound very real.This performance was lethargic, un-engaging and dry, while Kovacevich was the complete opposite. His was emotive and involving and you felt drawn in. I couldn't help but wanting to speed up the performance from the BSO. It was too sticatto, too smooth. The sound was extremely clean and clear. Great seperation of instruments, deep and wide soundstage as though you are rear of mid hall. However, like I said before, completely uninvolving to my wife and I at least.
Is the review positive or negative?
