I recently acquired the box set of R.Strauss Orchestral works on EMI after a lot of recommendations. I agree the performance seem to be significant but I find the remastered sound quality of ths set very dissapointing. Very flat sounding . The remastering was done by Abbey Road Studios. There is a big void in the middle of the soundsatage with eveything mostly on the far left and right. The trumpets/ woods etc. all are brought forward like solo instruments and the string sections are muffled and pushed into the background. Percussions are also supressed. It sounds like a blanket was placed over most of the orchestra. I was looking forward to the Kempe sound but the engineers seem to have decided otherwise. Has anyone else had this experience?
