Now, with Dave out of the way I can finally get to have my sig read by one and all!!! But seriously folks, I just heard the Naxos performance of K622 (coupled with Basson and Oboe Concs) and although I heard it on pretty poor equipment, I was convinced there was something strange about the string sound. It was very grainy, almost like period instruments. It also sounded just a touch flat. Are they period instruments/slightly flat modern instruments played badly/what? David Stewart [log in to unmask]
