So jarring and sharp that it interrupts the flow of the music and dwarfs the orchestra, whose sound is a bit light-weight to begin with.
Good Lord I was wincing half the time.

This one?
the bass drum is indiscriminately whacked.
'live' orchestra dynamics! :-)
IMHO the percussion player's mostly one-size-fits-all approach to strikes, mallets and dynamics is a disappointment. Extremely sharp and deep with no ring: sounds like the awful synthesized canon in Muti's EMI 1812 Overture.
With regard to recording, I suppose if I had a concert hall-sized room....
David Hurwitz gave it a "10" when he should have indulged in one of his snark-fests. : )
Since, IIRC, Hurwitz himself is a percussion player. And, again IIRC, he enjoys trashing recordings in which, in his opinion, the percussion section is not loud or prominent enough. Chris's comment says it all. You beat me to it, Chris!
I notice that he often writes as if multi-channel was only an afterthought (even though he apparently does have multi-channel capability on his own system). Anyway, thinking about jdaniel's OP in this thread, and the fact that he's listening only via two channels, I think we could all use a report indicating how this BIS bass drum (going one better than the Telarc bass drum - LOL!) sounds when you've got a 15" sub-woofer in the mix. I'll try to download it later today! ;-)
Fwiw the Vandy's go deep. I don't thinks there's much a sub can do here, I think it has more to do with drum, choice of mallet and loss of proportion.
