You are right, sound stinks. I am a little disappointed with this as
NAXOS has succeded better with other remasterings I had heard before, like
Toscaninis Beethoven 8 for example. And I had hoped when I bought it sound
should be as good as in that one, but I don't complain as I am I guess,
very tolerant for sound quality. I enjoy this performance (and especially
Set Svanholms singing) despite the sound quality. No problem!
