Hhh--
I hate to be a contrarian, but I have the Water Lily disc and wish I hadn't wasted my money!
Can't object to the music or the performance, but as far as I'm concerned, it might as well have been recorded in mono. Although I've followed the procedure for listening to a Blumlein recording to the letter, I still fail to get decent soundstage/imaging. It's like I'm listening to an orchestra from across the street! I'm amused every time Robert E. Greene "toots his horn" (in TAS) about his involvement in making the recording. This is a rare case in which I must agree with Harry Pearson, who has had very few, if any, nice things to say about the recording.
