Title: Beethoven Symphony 5 1st movement
Review: I downloaded the first movement. The clip was good because of the quality sound. I am dissatisfied with the splicing that was done on the recording. When it repeats, there is an obvious cut. When it transitions to the development section (after the repeat) the horn is off in pitch (an obvious splice as well). Entrances are not always solid in the strings and there are a few intonation errors in the winds. I also feel there were some balance issues (sometimes winds are not heard). I am also disappointed that I don't even know which orchestra this is-- not on the CD cover or identified in the MP3 list. I will be more cautious next time.
Is the review positive or negative?
