. . . then you still weren't hearing everything on the Reiner recording. . . for whatever reason. It IS microphoned closer, but the sound still opens out naturally. If you think the Beecham engineering represents the only valid way to record an orchestra, then, once again, I'd say that that's a very singular view.

- "The soundstage just doesn't seem to open up" [in the Reiner recording] - Chris from Lafayette 15:02:33 08/30/20 (69)
- No, fact. The Beecham recording projects a much more natural, open sound, with hall interaction preserved. nt - jdaniel@jps.net 15:13:52 08/30/20 (68)
