CD Reviews

Unenthusiastic, with bad sound as well

04/03/1999

(2 out of 5 stars)

"I would have to recommend against these. The Mozart is very blandly played. Even worse, it's too closely miked, so the sound of fingers click-clacking against the instruments is very prominent. The Beethoven is similarly uninspired, and recorded in a wind tunnel apparently. Wow, is there a lot of static. Sure, it's an old recording (mid 50s), but this is inexcusable. With the Dvorak, we finally see some signs of life. There is a pretty good performance hidden behind all the whooshing static."
