3.0 out of 5 stars
Worst quality sound of any Tallis Scholars CD I've heard, July 14, 2011
This review is from: Francisco Guerrero: Missa Surge Propera (Audio CD)
I gave this CD three stars because the performance seems to be about a 4.5. However the sound, to my ears, is simply terrible: very tinny, very unnatural sounding. Possibly this a result of it also having been released as a SACD, which I believe the Tallis Scholars have only done twice, both times in 2006 and never since, which may be an indication they weren't happy with the results. (Perhaps the SACD sounds just fine, I am only reviewing the CD.)
Where is the midrange? Where is the low end? Certainly this is not the first of their CDs to sound too bright to my ears (marring somewhat one of their very best performances: their Josquin masses "Malheur me bat"/"Fortuna desperata"). But this is MUCH worse, many times worse. I cannot listen to this CD. I never wish to hear it again.
