I couldn't see anything offensive in your reviews, 2channel, and hope there's been a misunderstanding, somehow, of what you wrote. However, don't give up on Pentatone; there are some excellent issues in the catalogue. (I haven't heard the one you reviewed.)
Let me add my two cents worth here. I have about 20 PentaTone discs, and they, referring now to the new DSD recordings, are among the best I recordings I ever heard.

Bruce, sometimes it's all too easy for reviews to be misunderstood. How do you cope with these?

"Drunk Gets Nine Months in Violin Case."

"Why do you always insist on playing while I'm trying to conduct?" (Eugene Ormandy)

(I liked RolyPoly speakers and the page of Ormandy quotes. Hope you do too.)

No cause for misunderstanding here! (The disc gets similar short shrift in the French site, too. I don't find either review offensive, but I'm not tempted to buy.)

Can someone please post regarding whether the "On the Waterfront" score that was on the CD also appears on this SACD? Thanks.

On The Waterfront is not on this SACD.

Argg. An unfortunate omission. I may have to buy the CD again cheaply (I sold it in anticipation of getting the SA-CD) in addition to finally getting the WSS SA-CD.

Thanks for the reply, Fredric (Synthy).

The new Original Cast Recording of West Side Story which is currently on Broadway is being released by SONY Classical. Would it not be wonderful if they released it in a multi-channel hybrid version and make up for past transgressions. And what separates this from the rest is the use of Spanish both in song and dialogue so this could become an international hit. Is ANYONE at SONY listening????????
