To be honest, I don't listen to it much because of a sonic problem, so that's a cursory account, at best. My problem is that the trombones are like a sonic laser out of the right channel in a way that is oppressive and hard to take. Generally, I give up after about half a movement. (I did get through the performance once, though.) I have spoken to a few other people about this, and they noticed the same issue. On the other hand, I recall someone on the list saying it was not a problem for him. Caveat emptor, I guess. Maybe you'll get enough answers to make a call. Roger Hecht
