I always find it a little bit humorous when critics talk about Naxos' bargain price . If there were no content on the label that I had interest in I would probably just ignore it. The maddening thing for me though is that some of the performances are absolutely first rate, but the recorded sound gets in the way of my enjoying a superior effort by the musicians. The music & performers are not mediocre why should the production value be ? It must be true that most of the microphones being used today are just not up to the task .
