CD Reviews

Unsatisfactory recording & performance

Lai Chun Pin Patrick | Tsimsahstsui Hong Kong | 07/06/2000

(2 out of 5 stars)

"The performance is unsatisfactory and not professional at all. You can easily here the unstable rhythm and not-well-tuned tones, especially for those piccolos and flutes.When I was listening to the CD, I also found that music is in a 2-D dimension only : simply like music from mono radio.Of course, if I take into account of the price, it might be unfair to expect too much, but I know that some CD of this price level can have much better surround sound and performance.I would not recommend this CD to those classical music audience."
