I just receive the last CD by Paul O'Dette, of Dall'Aquila's music at Harmonia Mundi.
I'm afraid it is really bad. Not Paul's playing (excellent as usual) but sound recording is really not "audible" (is it the right word ?) Trebles are aggressive, bass mixed in a soap sound... The booklet says it is the "historical" place where it was recorded that is very much reverberant... Why did they choose this place ? even if it was not possible to record in the church in Aquila where the plan to do first, but can't because of the earthquake. I send a mail to Harmonia Munid, to ask them to take this out of sell and make a new one on the usual standard... (and to ask my money back !) Other opinions ?
