I listened only to a little of it, but really didn't like it at all. It's an English orch recorded in a hall that sounded narrow and deep, a form of musical tunnel-vision, so to speak. The perspective was very distant, and the music was the most boring kind of Romantic period tripe, as far as I was concerned. I traded it at a used cd store. It was an example of "Why did Telarc bother" ?
All of their recordings by Atlanta and Cinci are way better, musically and sonically, IMO.
