I used to think that DG had some pretty awful recordings too - and they did, but the pitch related things seem to have more to do with them not using the RIAA curve. A bit of HF tweaking brought back the balance - if the system was capable! My biggest gripe was the artistic license the recording engineers took in rebalancing the orchestra. Whoever had a solo was brought to front center - until the solo was over, then it was like they walked back to their proper seat.
It was great that those engineers actually learned how to read the scores, but many missed the part of the composers intentions...Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
