OTOH, I thought the Decca/London recordings were MUCH less objectionable than the Szell/Columbia (CBS) recordings in terms of multi-microphoning. (The Szell/Epic releases were generally fine IMHO.)
Regarding the Maazel Respighi Festivals and Pines, it's always been a mystery to me how the Cleveland performances and engineering can sound so good, while Maazel's later recordings of these works in Pittsburgh (on CBS/Sony) sounded so wan in comparison - from both the interpretive and engineering perspectives. And that's DESPITE the fact that the Pittsburgh recordings were made with a minimalist microphone technique. My theory is that the microphones were simply too far away, and there was just no slam or impact to the orchestral climaxes. The Pittsburgh recordings also seemed a bit bass deficient in comparison. I wonder if it would be worthwhile for Sony to try to remaster that Pittsburgh Roman Trilogy.
