I find it a bit of a mixed bag, some of the vocals are pristine, esp soprano, and have a beautiful ambiance in the recording, but then some of the organ passages sound like the organ is in the church next door...

to the extent that I'm wondering did it get ripped poorly...??

I was on the train listening and I don't remember the cd having those traits...??

When it's good though it's very good....
