Crystal Clear
I remember when this LP was released reviewers complained that the sound was ‘lackluster’. This incarnation is clear and well-balanced. The low strings are beautifully present and the winds are crystal clear. The soundstage is wide and well-differentiated, making the frequent divided string parts easy to discern. The percussion is clean, almost dry. One grumble, the fff piano chords do not make the abrupt startling statement I’d have liked to hear. Nonetheless, this is a great performance of the First Symphony.
