OK, the Beeb have pulled this one off big time. Fabulous imaging, and a
real sense of presence. If I have a slight criticism, it is that they
have left the hall out of the audio picture a bit. Come to think of it,
this is the Albert Hall, so again, well done Beeb!


Since last year's proms we have bought a DTTV box. Also 'rearranged' the
audio equipment so the TV/DVD system now uses the Quad 988's and a
subwoofer.

I liked the sound via DTTV, but had the impression that the stereo spread
was narrower for the Bach than later on. My only hesitation is that I must
admit not to being much of a fan for Slatkin. His conducting tends to me to
sound a bit 'soft and watercoloured' at times.

Slainte,

Jim
