OK, let's say you take a small HIP-ish orchestra, have it perform
Beethoven with tempi as if it is the VPO of the 1970s, and put it in a
reverberant hall so that the orchestra sounds bigger, with the
orchestra blending into some sonic mush like it is Karajan-streamlined
Debussy, and whenever the timps really kick it up, it reminds you of
the storm sequence of the Pastoral.

Help me doctor, because I love it.

And that's really trying too hard. I still think the recording is
fine. It appears to have broken the rules of what must be done for
these types of efforts, though. I jut don't see a problem wit not
being able to cleanly hear every orchestral department all the time.
But I'm not an academic or a believer in much of anything besides what
I like to listen to.
