1 out of 5 stars -an adequate performance marred by technical flaws........1999-10-29

The potential buyer should know (from the liner notes) that the Berlioz was recorded in mono from an FM broadcast and that the Mendelssohn was recorded in mono from LPs. Unfortunately, neither source was up to it's technical limits. The dynamic range and signal-to-noise ratios both suffer from this treatment and the Mendelssohn suffers additionally from snap, crackle and pop. If you are interested in performances by Bruno Walter, you may wish to add this recording to your collection. If your primary interest is low cost (music students and such), there are numerous other recordings in this price range that will better fit your needs.
