I bought the download today. I was leaning in that direction, and your positive words pushed me to action. First, the BSO's download service is a bit clunky. One has to download one file at a time, hence five separate downloads (not counting the booklet). But after I completed that and placed the files in a folder I was ready to go.
The sound is excellent, as you said. The performance is also top-notch. Mr. Nelsons is not in a hurry, for sure. This leads to a more soulful, melancholy reading than usual. What he is trying to do does work for me, but I must look elsewhere for a more robust, visceral, exciting performance when I'm in a different mood.
Thanks again for the heads-up.
