- Object—The musical shortcomings can't just be blamed on the high proportion of amateurs in the orchestra. For example, it’s a pity that the conductor clips short most of the dramatic rests in the first movement, like a nervous round at a gymkhana. The recording lacks clarity—and even booms—in the mid-to-low range, which might be minimised with the Audacity program; it would have been so easy to adjust at the time of the recording. Can you remove the excessively long silences at the start of each movement (10 seconds for the first movement)? Tony (talk) 13:57, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
- Postscript: This nomination has been here long enough; I think it should be archived, not promoted. Tony (talk) 13:08, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
