In Reply to: Hmmm. . . so you got "the sense that the Bergen players were fatigued--physically and mentally" - Unbelievable posted by Chris from Lafayette on October 24, 2016 at 10:20:10:
Requires very clean and incisive playing esp in strings, trumpets, horns and tymps; Fischer is slow burn and satisfying, Litton's lacks direction or momentum.In the last pages of the Sacrificial dance, the percussion doesn't quite nail those off-beat punctuation: sharp and loud, but a bit tentative.
The Bergen reminds me off Sir Simon's early years with the Birmingham: they play with heart, they get to the playoffs, but never take home the trophy.
Not to say that the playoffs can't be exciting.
Edit: I should also add that in 2 channel, the Bergen tends to appear and then disappear back into no man's land while the Budapest is very gratifyingly anchored in their hall throughout. Maybe Bergen sound last bigger in 5 channel.
No doubt a lot of things contribute to people hearing things differently. I compiled reviews for both Rites and they run the gamut: many left me scratching my head as well.
