Are you a different ahendler? Posted by that other ahendler Feb, 2015:Just finished listening to it in 2 channel stereo. Sound is good, not great. It has a little to much mid bass and not enough deep base which causes some congestion at times. What is more important to me is this is not any of Griegs major music and most of it is really boring. It is a disc I will probably never listen to again. Many of the Reference Recording, early RCA, Mercury and Deccas sound more realistic than this disc imho
AlanNot trying to be a jerk, but I was a bit stung. I'm glad you like it now and hear what I heard. You certainly didn't, then.
That has happened to me, too, but usually because of the music itself, not the recording. It takes a while to learn to appreciate some pieces, and I often find those more rewarding in the long run. Sonics I can usually get immediately, sometimes in the first few seconds, good or bad. This recording was astounding from the first, yet continued to get even better.
At risk of being ignored again, I'll repeat my closing question: do you have a favorite for sound among the four volumes?
Peace,
Tom E
