Mike: "Dude, if you want Lenny M5 with utter vehemence, go for the Sony. As I said in 2003 it's freakin fast and furious!" But the sound. It's boxy. Early...
I think the Columbia/Sony M5 by Lenny is a miss - The sound is bad and the performance misses. The opening trumpet wavers and it's pitch never sounded right...
The opening trumpet solo is about the ONLY miss for me in this performance. It's one of my favorites. The Adagietto is schmaltzy, which for me is perfect....
Hey Mitch, I know the sound isn't top notch, but at least to my ears it's still listeneable. I am not a hi-fi dude like most of you after all. :)) Mike Mitch...
