Title: small qualification
Review: I've been talking up and writing about this set for 40 years exactly the way most people here do. But I just revisited some of it the other day, after a very long break, and I must point out that in 132 the Marcia opening (immediately following the Song of Thanksgiving) has some really marked intonation problems, mostly (amazingly) Parisot's cello. I was very dismayed to hear it, as the Dankgesang is unsurpassed. I'm surprised they didn't do retakes, for the pitch sounds to me that jarringly off.PS - of course now on listening to other eminent versions I see that this is hardly uncommon. I mean, even the Berg and the Tokyo (whose work I love above all, or thought I did) sound a bit sour and overall imperfect in this little bracing quip of marcia writing. Hmm. Can an experienced string quartet player enlighten us all?
