I personally do not think that it is a compression but it rather some kind of strange inflection of accent. A soft reading CD players sound like this:
“Italian conductor Fabio Luisi and acclaimed 21-year-old French pianist Lise de la Salle collaborate in their BSO debuts, performing Saint-Saëns' elegantly virtuosic Piano Concerto No. 2 with the orchestra.”
The hard-reading CD players sound like this:
“ItaAalian condUctor Fabio LuIIIsi and accLLlaimed 21-year-old FREench pianist Lise de la Salle coLLaborate in their BSO DebUts, perfOrming Saint-Saëns' eleGantly viRTuosic Piano ConcErt0 No. 2 with the OrchestrA.”
The hard-reading vs. soft-reading might be also applied to the fact how different transports read different types of disks.
