Comments on: Familiar Friends Close Out Unpredictable BSO Season In Rousing Fashion http://classical-scene.com/2010/04/30/familiar-friends-close-out-unpredictable-bso-season-in-rousing-fashion/ a virtual journal and blog of the classical music scene in Boston Wed, 23 May 2012 03:34:37 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Martin Cohn http://classical-scene.com/2010/04/30/familiar-friends-close-out-unpredictable-bso-season-in-rousing-fashion/comment-page-1/#comment-2296 Martin Cohn Tue, 04 May 2010 14:12:55 +0000 http://classical-scene.com/?p=3651#comment-2296 We heard Friday PM live, and it was indeed glorious. Sadly, the Saturday night broadcast was a horror. I've sent this message to the Managing Director and to the Personnel Manager of the orchestra: Saturday night's (1 May) broadcast of the BSO suffered truly ugly distortion thanks to WCRB's signal processing (butchering is a better term.) This was not a case of weak signal --- two respectable tuners showed full signal strength. I hope the BSO players and management can do something to remedy this misrepresentation of the orchestra's sound. Perhaps a switch to WHRB is in order, assuming they're willing.
