Fellow Inmates: I recently ordered the Analogue Productions SACD of the Rachmaninoff Symphonic Dances (Dallas SO/Donald Johanos). You're probably aware that this recording has developed a cult following over the years and has been reissued any number of times. This version must be reckoned a success: the laser-like clarity and immediacy are there in spades, but there's a bit more warmth than other versions I've heard.
Here's my question for anyone else who has this disc: in the first minute or so of the last movement (track 3), something that sounds like low-level radio static is audible. It doesn't really sound like a defect in the disc itself; perhaps a bit of deterioration of the master tape is the culprit. If you have this disc, please let me know if you can hear this as well. Thanks for your response!
