Title: A great recording killed by trasfer engineers!
Review: Without question, This is one of great chamber music recordings of all time...Alas, EMI transfer engineers added some ambience while remastering, and the result is like a stereo rechannelling of a mono recording, and natural balance of recording gone forever...If you listen with headphones, you'll quickly understand what I mean... Sometime ago, I listened the same original Melodiya LP, and I saw what's the difference is. In late 80's French harmonia Mundi label transferred more faithfully, but more tape hiss. I think EMI should re-remaster this enchanting performance, or give permission to another company for a really good transfer (BMG would be a good choice, issued sucessful transfers of melodiya recordings).
Is the review positive or negative?
