I have often seen letter writers in Gramophone making the same complaint. "Oh, dear, the quiet passages in my CDs are too quiet. and then it gets too loud. I have to keep turning the volume up and down. Those darn record producers." Then they often go on to say that they don't have that problem with their FM tuners." They like compressed music. Fits in with their mostly small houses, small rooms, and small speakers. They have no conception that wide dynamic range is supposed to be a good thing,
Follow Ups:
Norwegian 2L has a wide enough dynamic range on both SACD & Blu-Ray, no need to continually adjust the volume once set. I agree early BIS RB CD's were very good, I just do not care for their SACD discs sound levels. No one as far as I am aware complains about lack of dynamic range on well known labels.

Complaining about supposedly too much dynamic range!
No, I am complaining about unacceptable engineering for Home listening, if the others can get it correct why not BIS .I can see from various Posts that I am not alone .Thank you.

Why don't you just compress your music?
Large DR is a good thing for most of us.
DR Why don,t you just compress your music ? another nonsense post. I have to repeat the problem only exists with BIS , I do not want to have to continually turn the volume up & down during an entire performance. No enjoyment in doing this for me, this is the downside that does not bother Fitzcalrado 215.BIS sounds very good on BBC FM radio 3 CD Review every Saturday morning,,either because they get compressed by the medium yet still sound quite dynamic,but probably the BBC have the technical ability to even out the dynamics, so I am misled into buying the disc and only find the problem when I play it at home. The solution for me No more BIS discs until they engineer them like all other labels which do not have this problem, no one as far as I know complains about lack of dynamics from Channel Classics, Pentatone, Decca, 2L etc.

compression of several folders nonsense? It is easy. I think it is you who are making nonsense out of a non audiophile issue.
Perhaps you should go bac to digital radio.
Quite frankly I have no idea as to what you are on about, especially non audiophile issue ? this is an audiophile issue.Never before heard Andrew McGregor presenter of CD Review Building a Library say re BIS once you have adjusted the levels its allright, so even this very experienced presenter & reviewer remarks on BIS sound levels.

I think you are pretty much alone on this one, though you might not be the very only one.
Just listened to a Naxos recording of Copland's 3rd symphony. In the beginning of the 3rd movement there is some playing that is so soft you can barely hear it. Then in the 4th movement there are orchestral climaxes that will threaten to destroy your system. I find this absolutely thrilling and mirrors what I heard live a couple of weeks ago when the San Antonio symphony did the Copland 3rd. Give me this type of dynamic range any day
