On ouverture, the strings are wayyyy to overpowering. What makes this song excellent is the strong brass supposrtig behind the light strings. All the major brass entrances seem to be washed out by the strings. Anyone agree?

Illegal? Ha. I'm aware of the historical significance of them, I just prefer the sound of modern instruments and it's hard to find recordings with them sometimes. And playing natural horn is a bitch, so I'm really glad we don't have to play everything on historically accurate instruments!

baroqueboy. I can see where you're coming from but disagree. Whether baroque or modern, each has a validity. I personally love both and it certainly doesn't take away any grandeur of the original.

It is not easy to capture the true sound of fireworks with audio equipment then reproduce it on speakers without distortion. To do so properly would require insulating the orchestra with sound barriers then using a huge aray of microphones. That would not be practical for a live performance with an audience. Somewhere, there is always a compromise. Some pieces are best appreciated live in person.
