1.0 out of 5 stars Just say no to AMSI (AMbient Sound Imaging), March 23, 2007

This review is from: Für Elise: Romantic Piano Pieces (Audio CD)

Not sure what led Deutsche Grammophon/Universal to use AMSI (AMbient Sound Imaging), a kind of simulated "surround". To use an analogy, it's like colorizing a good B/W film. The use of AMSI was one of the WORST mistakes DG/Universal has ever made in terms of sound engineering. The stereo image completely loses focus via this "technology". This is especially bad news for EARLY DIGITAL RECORDINGS, which lack "focus" and imaging to begin with. AMSI does not make the recording sound better. Too bad -- the track selection chosen for Fur Elise is quite good.

Put you right in to the great mood of relaxation. I recommend this piece of art to anyone who knows what classical music is because this is what they have been looking for. A must have CD.

I am enjoying this album tremendously. My mother used to practice the piano while I was drifting off to sleep on occasional summer nights. I am looking for something to recreate that peace for my own children (failing to have mastered the instrument myself). Listening to this album just fills me with those same warm fuzzies; I love this music. The choice of pieces is wonderful and the playing lovely. I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I!
