Misleading CD promotion

Music Lane

It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

Not a big issue so do not misinterpret - I'm not banging a drum of complaint but thought this amusing.

Looking for reviews of the CD "Rossini Six Quartets" by Ensemble Wien-Berlin I found this quote on the ArkivMusic site -
"Sony's recording provides us with a player's ear perspective on the music... It is always a pleasure to hear these gifted players..." -- Gramophone [11/1993]

Yes, they did say that but the full context of the end of the Gramophone review was -
"It is always a pleasure to hear these gifted players - Wolfgang Schulz et al.- but from the repertoire point of view this is a street-weary mongrel of a disc.'

That full context does not make the disc sound nearly as appealing!!!
