Is it me ? This has been gathering superlatives. I have listened to this new Roman trilogy and yes, it is brilliantly played and recorded but to me lacks that "tingle" factor. If I use the finale of Pines as an example the playing is stunning but there is little excitement factor that I get with Reiner or Silvestri - the latters live BBC performance (sadly only Pines) is something very special. I will stick with these and ignore Feste which I find very hard to take. Just a personal view ! Happy listening !
