CD Reviews

Horrid recording!

FaveDave | 03/08/2006

(1 out of 5 stars)

"I was unfortunate enough to buy this CD a local store. It's a hideously recorded version of Giselle. Basically, they put a microphone in front of the orchestra - and not a very good microphone at that.

Just listen to one of the audio samples here on Amazon, and you may think the audio is bad because of your internet connection -but no! That's actually as bad as the audio CD sounds!

For the technical-minded among you - there are phasing problems, flanging, almost no bass presence, and well, it's just the most poorly recorded audio CD I've ever heard.

I am no audiophile snob, either, folks. But when I put it in the CD player I thought something was wrong with my system.

Save your money!"

Horrible Sound great performance!

"I could imagine that if I were in the theatre I would have absolutely felt the power of the orchestra. But because I'm not at the theatre and was actually expecting a great recording....this was kind of dissapointing! The CD is an analog recording from 1975 (SO BUYER BEWARE!) This is AN ORIGINAL 1975 Recording. So if you're looking for a CD quality recording of this ballet...THIS CD IS NOT IT!"
