Guys don't vote down amapparat for his/her opinion, especially for something as subjective as music.
I kind of agree, Emerson is definitely on the cerebral end of the scale, but their records are definitely true to the intent of the music, even if they tend to lack in emotion.
They are simply playing what is written, as well as possible. You can't fault them for that.

Do you feel this way about recordings of music in general? Or just about the Emerson String Quartet?
