Yes, I'm very impressed. I finally won one on ebay for $120 and thank Evolution the seller wasn't inept at grading. Flawless EMI pressing. The most striking thing is the bass drum--crystal clear and extrememly weighty. Silky-smooth strings spread unusually far to the left and right and woodwinds and harp are very tangible.No. 1 on TAS superdisc list? Many people claim, but why does no one notice that the list is in alphabetical order and Arnold happens to come first? Hmmm. Anyway--very good, sometimes sublime, melodious music that often sets the toes a-tapping. Even those who don't like Classical music should like these pieces.
