I'm surprised you think so. I found the gain-riding that the BBC were
doing, combined with close miking, really weird. At times the gain on
the soloist was so high you could hear him breathing, and then the
orchestra came in and was not that much louder. Bizarre.

This was the D-SAT TV version, by the way. I don't know if the radio
sound was any different; I certainly hope so!
