Although a recording of good sound quality, generally speaking, the large amount of divergent activity occuring here could benefit from more detailed audiophile sound. The large amount of activity thus becomes both a strength and a weakness for this recording, but hearing the "vastness" of sound and breadth of sonorities is worthwhile. This was a very significant recording when first produced.
