Not specifically with this, but it DOES raise another of my (innumerable)
pet peeves - CDs where the pause between movements *within* a symphony, or
between a symphony and an overture, etc., are almost non-existant. I wish
that CD-player designers would consider adding a programmable "pause"
function of 2-4 seconds for those needlessly packed-together discs.
