Query: Sometimes less really is more....

I'll get the negative over with first... My only complaint with this CD is that the balance between the orchestra and the soloist is a little off. The violin is too quiet some of the time (especially with the full orchestra is playing with it), and the orchestra sound is a little muddy for my tastes (too much reverb or something...). Other than that, the CD is great.I think the original version is interesting to listen to from a musicological standpoint, but as a stand alone composition, it is far inferior to the revised version we're used to. The original has too much material, much of which is poorly developed, and generally just sounds disorganized and wandery compared to the streamlined revised version.The original version is very interesting to listen to and, if nothing else, it will make you appreciate the economy and unity of the revised version all the more. Enjoy!
