Romeo and Juliet in OsloMay 16, 2017By owen ryan (lakewood, CA)See All My Reviews"I have generally been pleased with recordings by Jansons that I have previously obtained and this one is no exception. Jansons here gives us a beautiful, refined, performance with a measured and deliberate pace. Jansons makes this sound very natural where in other hands it might seem too slow. The recording has a very wide dynamic range such that I had the gain boosted: however, the peaks were then on the loud side and verging on being brittle. Overall the audio is quite good. At this discs' low price it is an easy recommendation."Report Abuse
