The expression of overexposure by Geoff Brown (The Times) hits the nail on the head. In combination with the historic instruments it is in parts over the top. Also tonally, some techniques of Ms. Podger are not working well making the thinner sound of this violin to thin and acute. This is boosted by the bright setup of this recording with prominent support miking, i.e. the cello at Spring-Largo. Neverless a fine, new and fresh interpretation of this popular piece. I purchased the 24 nit 192k FLAC version of the album first which I can recommend strongly. Discovering the DSD streaming function from my NAS at the G3 update for my T A player with the DSD 256 version ended in disappointment. This version sounds thin and sharp. In contrast to all other recordings in DSD and PCM that I’ve compared.
