In Reply to: sound quality on Kempe/ R.Strauss recordings... posted by BJordan on December 10, 2006 at 21:36:13:
after listening to the complete set I have these thoughts. I think part of the reaction to the sound of these recordings is that most other recordings that we are use to seem to emphesise the extremes of Strauss's music( ie. Also Sprack ...etc). While Kempe seems to be looking more for internal definitions and structure and more subtle beauty.
, Yes the quality of these recordings could be more spatial and dynamic ,, but I think the beauty of the music as Kempe maybe see's it comes across in more clear and intellegent way with these recordings.
