"I will leave all the technical talk and the Tuba splattered the last note comments for those who wish critique this CD far more closely than I.



For me even as a professional musician (yes, a tubist) what I listen for is does it sound good and as is the case with this series of high-end CD's does it sound better than previous releases.



In short the quality is suburb and as you can imagine listen to the Chicago Symphony Orchestra with the magnificent lower brass section is always a treat. Throw in 1812 Overture and what more could you ask for?



The CD's in this series are a bit pricy and in time they will more than likely be released with all English linear notes, but at any price it is worth listening to.



By the way Arnold Jacobs (the tubist) didn't splatter the last note!
