Water Lily Russian Recordings and turning the other cheek....

I do happen to know something about orchestral balance and human nature. Orchestral balance in a given hall, is a combination of the seating arrangment, hall acoustics, the dictates of the composer and the artistic disposition of the conductor. Those of us who make one point stereo recordings that entail no gimmickry, wherein we strive to capture the reality in a "documentary" style and do not impose our idea of balance via miking, panning and EQ, as all the majors invariably do, consider perserving the original balance in the given hall, at the time of recording, the Holy Grail.
Human nature being what it is, you are couching the obvious in such a manner so as to make look silly. Of course I know that what the mikes picked up would have been different in a different place! But I had made it clear as to WHY I had picked the chosen spot. And had you paid a little more attention you would notice that the CD comes with a 16 page booklet with excellent notes, including 3 pages on the recording.
You can certainly "do" a Lord Nelson by putting the telescope to the blind eye. That too is numan nature but hardly a balanced view!
