Free Music Notes for Messiah - George Frideric Handel, Dublin Version 1742 Album
Free Music Review: Some great singing. ???s on the recording
Hit: 4 Stars
There is some great singing here, both from the chorus, as well as the soloists. Not all will be to everyone's taste. The problems are mainly with the recording. I am sure that 99.9% of people won't even notice, but I would pay money to BET there has been some after-the-fact processing (reverb etc) added here. The tell-tale signs are a kind of distortion/blurring on sybilants, and - the kicker - a flattening-out of the sound-stage. I have first-hand experience of what these processing effects cause in terms of imaging to a recording, and this is completely one-dimensional, despite being a SACD hybrid in multichannel. Compare to some of the unfiddled recordings on Channel Classics, for example, and there is just no perspective here, no depth in the soundstage. Oh, and the soloists all have the microphone down their throats, accompanied by a 60-foot long harpsichord. I mean, OK, its a recording, and balances don't have to be like in the concert hall, but is this really necessary, or is it that the ipod generation have already won? Some people still value the highest fidelity that can be attained. The background noise and other extraneous noises (birds in the venue) are also pretty bad!
