In Reply to: Naxos great audio? Even their SACDs and DVD-Audios sound poor but the Redbook CDs are worse! posted by Teresa on January 31, 2008 at 08:40:13:
The Wit Mahler 8th is a stunning recording on redbook, and an exciting performance as well. It may be that your system can't register the bass. Not to mention that more often than not, Telarc's tend to be unrelentingly dry.
