To elaborate: I mentioned, these new CD's, that i enjoyed, and couldn't but to notice, exeptional sonic quality about them. The same way, i was somewhat disapointed,(about the sound) about another great compilation of work; "Sacred Treasures II" choral masterworks from the sistine chapel. And questioned "need" for "absolutely" neutral sound from your "gear". Of course, the choral recorded in a "live" chapel, will result in somewhat "forward" sound "comming at you". I prefer listening, classical and jazz, on the LP records.However, i find myself enjoying CD's, more often. Lately!
