I just want to know what went went wrong with this one? No low frequency energy and cold sounding. This DOES NOT sound like the Water Lily recordings I love. I even love Nature's Realm even though the hall was less than perfect and Nature's Realm has deep bass and is tonally accurate. And Jon Hassell Fascinoma and all the East meets West Indian-Western SACDs. These are all great and sound very realistic.

So what went wrong with the SKRYABIN / SVETLANOV Water Lily SACD?

I apologize about the mis-type the Orchestra recordings done by Bert Whyte. However, the Sheffield Lab Orchestral recordings were indeed were single stereo microphones. And the RCA, Living Stereo and Telarc recordings are correctly listed as far as microphones with one exception, in the mid-80's on some projects Telarc started using more than 3 space omni's. I guess I need to be a better proof reader.

Also on my speaker's I am able to hear pin-point imaging with Telarc and Mercury Living Presence with their 3 spaced omni microphones so it is not impossible. I admit it took 6 months to get my speakers in exactly the right place, well away from the rear and side walls and only slightly toed in. Some are so spot on accuate it is scarry.

The Crystal Clear Direct to Disc LSO recordings done by Bert Whyte were the Gould: Spirtuals for Orchestra and Foster Gallery and the Susskind Prokofiev: Love for three Oranges.

I do want to clearly restate I love Water Lily LPs and SACDs except for this one. And I was very excited about this release until I heard it as I love Scribian.
