Martin Walker may well be right about the quality/accuracy of the translation of CPO booklet notes. I picked that sentence very much at random-it is probably far from the best (or worst!) example of van Hoogen's notes.
The notes for the von Hausegger Nature Symphony run to eight and a half pages-which might be regarded as exceptionally good value. However the composer himself does not appear until one has tried to battle one's way through two and a half pages of (badly) translated quasi-philosophical musings. By that time many readers will, I suspect, have given up the will to live let alone continue reading!
