Has Roger heard of a balance knob on his stereo? That, in combination with a tick to the left on his treble knob, might take care of the sound imbalance problem on the Bax recording (this is assuming, of course, that the Naxos version is worth fussing over in the first place!--I have versions on Chandos and Lyrita and they're both tremendous! The Bax First for me represents a sonic farewell to the innocence of Eduardian England and a rite of passage into the 20th century via the tragedy that was the "Great" War.)
