I bought this many years ago and while the performances were okay (good but not great) and of course the music I did not like the record and didn't play it much. About ten years ago I realized why: this was recorded in a church, with typical dull sound and poor detail and no orchestral colours. I only started to recognize the problem of church acoustics then. There should be a warning symbol on every classical record that was recorded in a church. The sound is always inadequate, colourless, unsubtle and horrible.
