Query: Flawed remastering

The music is good and of obvious historic interest. Unfortunately, the noise present on this release, the constant hisses, cracks, and pops, makes it unlistenable. Producer Phil Schapp's contention that computerized noise reduction programs compromise the music is ridiculous. Listen to any number of reissues utilizing this technology (e.g., Steven Lasker's work on the Duke Ellington Centennial Edition for RCA)and you will see how great reissues can really sound when done properly. Save your money and skip. If you're curious about this historic event, borrow the CD from your local library. I hope Sony treats future issues of classic music with better respect.
