Good music, not so much for the recording

I don't like giving negative reviews, but in this case I feel it is warranted. There is nothing wrong with the music; it's lively and engaging. The Royal Opera House plays well as usual; this is, after all, their professional meat and potatoes; and the music selections are popular examples of their genres, and Solti and opera go well together. But. The recording distorts badly on cymbal crashes and many of the high brass notes. This distortion calls attention to itself in nearly all of the pieces, and makes listening uncomfortable. In case you might be wondering, this isn't because of the equipment I used in listening. I have a number of 'high energy' orchestral recordings that play perfectly well, including a few HDTT downloads.
