It seemed very risky to pack 25 or 30 minutes of symphonic music onto 1 side these days, but the quality of the record is unacceptable beyond that. Poor, low-level box sound - it's amazing how DG was able to do this. The release is an obvious fiasco. The CD was perhaps included so that buyers wouldn't get too excited - but unfortunately they didn't even manage to do that; specifically, a digital error can be heard on it... And to make everything perfect, the vinyl is as wavy as my grandmother's bread, so it must have been stored badly. A huge disappointment.
