It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

RE: DB - I do understand where you're coming from

I haven't heard the Minnesota Orchestra in many years. However, I have heard the Cleveland Orchestra in Severance Hall many times. Their pianissimo is as soft as anybody's, e.g., the end of Mahler 9. I never have trouble hearing the softest notes they play, and they are not deafening me at full blast either. In contrast, I can't hear the opening of Vanska's Beethoven 9th at a reasonable volume at home without getting NAILED (and not in a good way) at the louder sections of the performance.

I don't claim to know what BIS does with these MN Orch recordings, but they aren't listenable on my system.
