Query: Beautiful interpretation let down by sound

ECM has a habit of bringing beautiful music with usually okay sound. Not on this one.Granted, music comes first and foremost. But when instruments sound like they are made of tin and drowned into a glassy reverb, I just can't relate anymore. It's just amazing that in this day and age, such a serious company could release such a bad (once more, from a technical point of view), recording. This CD is a textbook example of why people think CD sounds bad and go back to vinyl.If you don't listen to your CDs on a good stereo but in your car on your way to work, you might be able to get over it.
