E**N
Total ripoff - don't buy this!!
This CD, which claims to be 'Alexei Popov' leading the Kuibyshev OperaSO, is actually a digitally mangled ripoff of a 1991 CD issued by theNorddeutsche Kammerphilharmonie (cond. Frank Beermann).The mangling is of two kinds:1) An apalling amount of reverb was added.2) The tempi of the last three movements were drastically altered,making II much slower and III and IV much faster.I assume this mangling was done to avoid detection. They might havegotten away with it, too, if they hadn't stupidly chosen one of themost idiosyncratic performances ever.
