Having just spoken with Mark on Friday about some upcoming recordings (etc) and some other topics, I have an idea of what probably happened.The percussionist was asked to play his loudest and the max level was set so that this wouldn't cause a data overflow (aka digital clipping). Once the level is set, the group is captured. So you are hearing the natural dynamic range of the group.
There are no standards for levels for recording music as there are for films.
On my admittedly compromised system without a peak hold meter (yes that is sarcasm), I don't have to alter the playback level of this disc by more than 1 or 2 dB higher than typical for any other discs.
