2.0 out of 5 stars
No "life" here, January 7, 2012
This review is from: Last Night of the Proms [United Kingdom] (Audio CD)
Don't know how EMI managed to mess this one up, but right-o mate. Dry, digitalis sound lacking any semblance of real performance in real hall. Somehow great pieces by world-class orchestra manage to sound lifeless. Example: Piano spread across sound-stage as wide and loud as the orchestra in the Gershwin, high piano notes come from the right and low notes from the left--the pianist is seated with his/her back to the audience at concerts? Horns get clammy. Others of similar title managed to get the essence of performance down, in contrast.
