The music on this CD is wonderful and these musicians are in incredibly fine form. Unfortunately, the equalization on the recording is so distorted that it is painful to listen to this CD. For overall audio quality -- listenability -- this is probably the worst CD I have ever purchased (of hundreds) from Amazon.com and it is a bad joke that it cost the import price of $28. Sad. This could have been an incredibly enjoyable CD if the mis-equalized bass did not make your sinuses hurt.
