After listing yesterday the Kalinnikov’s First with Jarvi leading Scottish National and making this post:

I was very encouraged how good in trim of sound it was. So, I did something stupid:  right the way I took the very same Chandos CD from which the WCRB broadcast the music (does broadcast has a past tense? Shell I say broadcasted?) and played it on my CD setup. Well, believe me or not but the CD did not sound as exciting as it was via the tuner. Here is even more fun: I am not even convinced that WCRB run broadcast off a CD – it might be a computer-backed up file or even some kind of MP3 extract, compressed and limited. Yes, I detected from CD cleaner HF but… it was not as thrilling, arousing and engaging as it was “live” of the FM air… I live you with this thought…
