Title: "Who needs microphones?"
Review: Whoever designed this program with Hendrick's voice in mind - a creamy soprano - knew what they were doing. Mozart-wise, all of the best lollipops for such a timbre are here. It should have been a meeting with destiny, underwritten by the expertise of Sir Neville Marriner and the ASMF. Sadly, the EMI recording-engineers let the team down and abjectly so. The performers are backwardly set in a hazy acoustic. There is no presence whatsoever and Hendricks sounds like she is gargling from the bottom of the swimming pool.Only the Devil wants you to purchase this recital.
