RE: BIS SACD

I have the BIS SACDs for several of the Vanska/Minnesota performances of Beethoven symphonies. Symphony 9 starts very softly as Beethoven intended. If I have the volume turned up enough to just hear it in my 1300 sq. ft listening room, I am pinned to the back of my chair when the music gets fortissimo. I am certain there is at least that much dynamic range when I hear B9 in the concert hall, but I am MUCH farther from the sound source in a vastly larger space, so the effect is literally not so much in my face. So I suspect BIS has it right, but it's enough of an annoyance that I usually choose a different recording (with better singers!).
