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!

I think on the proms you can be a bit forgiving, after all it is a live
broadcast warts and all!. I don't know quite what their instructions
were from the producer, but I rather suspect that the staff on the
ground were doing their best.

Of course the results are under other constraints and thats the bigger
problem.

And the RAH isn't the -best- acoustic around...

And .. last nite there was quite a bit of drop out don't know if that
was weather related or not!...
