..I said in my earlier post on this that i would give it a spin today.
For me one of its greatest faults will be its greatest benefit for others. It is an unremitting hifi spectacular. Perhaps the Decca engineers had their Phase 4 hats on, at least spiritualy. As the performance in general lacks an organic sense of wholeness this tends to make it just a sequence of sonic events.
IMO it lacks any real sense of mystery and wonder and instead of traversing the huge distances of space to end our journey in the dark, cold and distant reaches of our solar system I found myself trapped in L'Eglise de Saint-Eustache with an Orchestra and a (seemingly rather small) female chorus.
