In Reply to: RE: True, but I've been seeing more classical listeners lately. . . posted by Chris from Lafayette on March 27, 2021 at 14:19:04
I don't think dynamic range in classical recordings has been improving..... There is so much processing being applied to recent releases, I cannot even get a handle on how good the performance actually was.....This is why I rarely post reviews on new classical releases.... Too often I'm listening to the processing instead of the performance. I cannot count the number of recordings where I hear either a "squelch effect" during quiet passages or "noise pumping" with dynamic changes..... Not to mention a "synthetic grunge" on strings, winds, and brass.
A prime example of this is the recent Wagner Ring Highlights CD with Paavo Jarvi and NHK Symphony (RCA/Sony) ..... The recording sounded "synthesized," it made me pull out the old Szell/Cleveland Ring Highlights, in which the sound quality wasn't great, but at least wasn't overprocessed.

Yes but it is what I have come to expect from this source.
