Symphony Hall, Boston has a near-perfect acoustic, but for some reason the recording team (which had the same producer as the Dvořák) seems to have added reverberation, and there is little sense of space around the image. And while the overall balance is just about acceptably forward, the sense of perspective and inner balance is awry, in that the wind and assorted percussion move forward outside of tutti passages and the side drum and xylophone are sometimes given even greater prominence; the score also calls for two harps, but these are often inaudible, while Rostropovich seems to be sat forward of the conductor and completely dominates the sound-stage, which is disappointing. However, when compared to a first-label German pressing the Speakers Corner disc has more presence and a better defined bass response Classicalsource
